Just moved to a new property that had a common type ivy growing up
the
walls, I've managed to remove it but it's left the tiny gripping
(feet) bits
still stuck to the brickwork and paintwork. Anybody managed to
remove these
little leggy bits and if so how?

We have had a similar problem and have never managed to remove the
remnant suckery things. In the end we painted over them and from more
than about 8 ft away, they don't really show up (but then we can't
afford to be too fussy given the size of the maintenance jobs around
here - if you are a real neat freak, you may not be satisfied with
that sort of bumpy paintwork look).
