Someone painted my wall outside my house without my permission

I'd imagine the person is with TUS or CE and was doing the work on behalf of the local tidy towns committee or equivalent. If he is still around he should be able to put you in touch with his supervisor.

I'd try your local partnership company, they will be running the local TUS scheme and if it wasn't TUS they should know who the contact point for the local CE scheme is.

It's possible someone complained about the state of the wall to someone else and one of the workers was told to put some paint on it.

Not the right way to go about it of course.

In Fingal at least it seems as unplastered block walls are against exempted planning.

Think of it this way - suppose the area around your house was strewn with your rubbish, dog crap, unkempt lawns, etc. and someone came along and cleaned it up. That is, they altered your property (for the good).

To many of us, our neighborhoods are spoiled by those who seem to think bare unplastered, unpainted block walls are acceptable. I'd much prefer to have graffiti on a painted wall than an unpainted wall without.

Try typing in your town/area name in to Twitter to search for recent posts about it, a lot of times these chancers start 'enriching' property that's not theirs they fill social media with it. Hopefully you can track down who financed it and sue them to reinstate it as it was.

How do you take white paint of a bare concrete block wall??

Do you want/ expect them to paint it gray?

And I don’t think ‘confronting’ an old guy is the way to solving anything, maybe asking him politely will get you a more favourable result…..

just ask around, someone will know who’s responsible. I’m also guessing sand blasting will remove it

The comments on here my god people try to troll. If the OP does not want to paint his wall for whatever reason that is up to them we all have different tastes and experiences.

The guy was only doing what he was told so going postal on him will not solve anything if anything doing stuff calmly gets things done quicker the majority of the time as if your confrontational it will only get them angry and not really want to do anything. Should have asked him where he was working out off and get there tomorrow. Ya try the local council tomorrow they might be able to help.

Never heard of paint on bare block unfortunately will leak in to it I say and you will have speckles of paint. So unfortunately it is to plaster it and then paint it a color you hope does not attract graffiti. Who know graffiti scrotes were picky on there color of wall but I suppose it stands on on white with any color

Did not know that thanks

However if this is a scheme like people believe I wonder how gifted people are on it

My jack hammer is twitching with all this talk about wall,structures ...............

Could also have been the local men's shed. Auld retired lad doing the painting fits the description.
