"I haven't use liquid iron but do use soluble iron sulphate, takes a wee bit more mixing as it's a powder but I find it goes further and is cheaper than the liquid, I get mine from agrigem."

A couple of questions to ask - what is the condition of the soil where the virginia creepers are planted and also has the brickwork been treated with anything? I suspect that the brickwork may have been treated with some sort of chemical - that would account for the creepers only clinging to parts of the wall which may have missed the treatment such as the windowframes.
If this is indeed the case, I don't think you'll find anything that will grow up the wall of its own accord. A solution might be to put in a climbing frame with vine eyes drilled into the brickwork which will keep a climber away from the brickwork - something like Gripple can be very useful and once you have your plant merrily growing away, it's quite unobtrusive. For a Southwest aspect I would go for a couple of Wisteria. If you get the framework right - about 12" between the horizontal lines - you will be able to train the wisterias quite nicely to cover the wall. I won't be quite as quick as the virginia creeper but after some years you'll have a beautiful wisteria all over the house.
Hope this helps,
Andy
