Hi Guys and girls
I am wanting to get some tips for re-pointing my engineering bricks.
The house was built in 1905 and is in need of some tlc.
Some of the joints are very narrow so a wizzer is out of the question and also I dont want to damage the nice bricks, also the bricks need cleaning a bit as there is some old mortar on them from touch up jobs over the years.
Firstly what should I clean them with or should I leave the cleaning and bag rub the whole brick face.
What is the best mortar to use or should I use a coloured mastic and how is best to get the old mortar out of the small joints please.
Thanks Phil
