Hi. I'm getting the brickwork on my Victorian terrace house repointed. Before the builders started, I asked what type of mortar they use. They told me lime mortar. But they're using Portland cement.
A couple of people have told me cement mortar is fine for brick. But I thought that's what you were not supposed to use for repointing old brickwork. Am I wrong?
I'd be really grateful for any advice.
