I have a question about lime
I have an old inglenook fireplace that was rendered I have removed all the render
And I now wish to know the best way to clean the bricks off?
And the old pointing is lime do I need to re-point with lime or can it be done with ordinary cement?
If lime how do I mix it with sand/sharp sand etc?
The old pointing is very crumbly and I will be having an open fire what would be the best thing to do with it.
It’s a DIY job so keep it simple please.
Thanks
