Hi
Looking for some advice on how best approach repairing external pointing / seal around front window.
It looks like previous owners have attempted a mixture of foam, weak / crumbly mortar and silicon and nothing at the top. Some areas around has foam behind thin layer of mortar, other there appears to be a cavity. Inside the window seems to be fine and dry.
My concern is that with just replacing with mortar again is that expansion / contraction may mean mortar just falls out. But using all silicon will look messy.
Appreciate some suggestions on how best to repair. Thanks in advance.
