Hi,
I'm in the process of trying to get bits and bobs that need doing around the house done before winter.
When we moved in 6 months ago, the survey had pointed out the fact that the odd brick at the front and side of the house had spalled and needed cutting out and replacing. It also commented that some of the repointing was not as tidy as it should be and this should be redone to improve the appearance. A friend who points for a living looked at it and his opinion was it was only cosmetic and the pointing was fine.
However, I've noticed a few bricks in the damp proof course are damaged and some have spalled.
Is it just a case of getting these replaced by a bricklayer? Or is there more to it than that?
Is it likely to cause issues before it is done?
I've attached some pictures........
Once again thanks in advance, I really am unsure about things like this.
