Hi all,
Previous owners did not fix blocked drains, and over time water has damaged the surrounding brickwork.
Looks like some terrible repointing has been done previously to patch up the work.
I sent the photos to a builder who suggested repointing the back wall ( back wall of upper bedroom ) as the repointing was terrible and wrong materials used.
Is it better to repoint the whole wall, or just the damaged bricks. If it is a relatively small job, I see the merit in fixing the whole lot if it will fix the problem. But I don’t want to repair the whole lot if unnecessary.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
