You can seal the wall with a PVA / water mix or you get ronseal i
think
clear sealant.

This would trap water content, causing brick spalling. Not recommended.
It also makes damp problems much worse. This is a very common mistake.


Going slightly off the original topic ... but I want to paint the floor
(concrete) and walls (bare brick one side, pebble-dash rendering on the
other) of my garage this spring. The bare bricks and floor in particular I
get the impression will just drink paint as I would imagine they're quite
porous.

Would what you suggested above be the best primer to seal it before painting
or is there something else better suited to the job?
