1930s house. It seems to be a sandy lime mortar between the bricks with a layer of grey cement like stuff over the top. What would be best to use for repointing? This corner by the front door is the only part that needs doing:
Hack out to a depth of approx 22 - 25mm and re-point in 4:1:1 sand, lime and cement.
Or, FWIW do it in 4:1 S&L or S&C.
After raking out use a wet paint brush to pick up the suction in the beds then immediately point up.
Dont bridge the weird DPC with your pointing.
