    Small damp patches in plaster

    I wouldn't get the whole re pointed straight away. You've said the pointing isn't that bad, and it could be a complete waste of money getting it re pointed at this stage. If you've got similar cracking to the roof mortar above, get that sorted first and go from there

    Kitchen cornice/ pelmet

    Well to me it looks like the end panels have been scribed in to the wall too far, meaning they sit further in than the doors. Then the pelmet has been put on flush with the end panels (as they should be) which means it's all set back too far in relation to the door fronts

    Just out of interest, in what scenario are we talking about granite being rendered here?
