On removing the tiles form an internal wall in a small toilette, part of the rendering came away exposing the brick work below. The brick are the soft grey type which had a poor reputation in the late 50’s. As the upper courses of brickwork were in poor condition I have decided to re-lay these, then re-render. I am slightly concerned about the adhesion properties of these bricks as the old mortar lifts off in a nice clean piece leaving the bricks in a very new condition. Can someone familiar with this type of brick suggest suitable precautions if any are needed?
Thank you
