Re pointing… quality of work

[Pipbandit]

Just had this done at my home.
I advised him this morning that I wasn’t happy and not to continue unless the standard was improved.
I returned home to this… obviously I cannot show all but it’s all the same standard.
First 2 photos of 2 replaced bricks and second 2 of pointing
I have not paid and would like your input please.
I have now been asked for payment and I’m really not happy about it all but need professional input on quality please.

He has absolutely no idea what he's doing.
Pointing London Rustics is a faff but with the correct technique there is no reason to mark the bricks. I doubt he's even raked out the joints for new pointing to be effective...and what has been done seems random.
Do not pay, he may issue a MCOL against you but he has no chance of claiming.
I would persue him for damaging the brickwork...sorting out that mess will be tricky.
