I noticed last night that a section of the verge has fallen out - it was loose a few weeks ago when I was installing satellite cables. I have read that lime should be added to the mortar mix. Is this right?
I had some of the verges re-pointed under NHBC warranty earlier this year but this warranty has now expired. Obviously an area missed as access is a little awkward. I notice that the mortar that came out is quite dark. Do they use a dye in the mix?
I am capable of re-pointing the area (probably about 6" in length) but I would appreciate any advice and tips.
Thanks in advance
