Hi,

I recently moved into a new (to me) house built probably in the 1880s. The
brickwork appears to have been recently cleaned / repointed. There is a
fairly vigorous ivy growing up part of it.

It looks nice, but I'm worried about the effects on the brickwork.

Any suggestions? Trim it or take it down?

Sorry if this has been covered before but Google only throws up stuff about
ivy on trees...

Thanks
