Had a builder come and take a look at the bricks below DPC on my detached 60s suspended floor property.
I asked if he thought it needed repointing and to quote the work if so.
He recommended grinding back the bricks severs inches (if i remember rightly) and then attaching cut bricks.
Can anyone comment on this? The bricks above DPC seems to be fine and appear to be of a different type. I don't want to spend loads of money on something that doesn't need urgent attention. I was concerned the coming winter would lead to further damage.
He also recommended putting some kind of resin on the raised pathway here in front of the house in addition to the adjacent wall being rebuilt or rendered.
