I have just repointed my garden wall, 7' high Victorian brick, about 30 yards long. Some task I can tell you. The problem I have now is that there are sandstone coping stones on top of it all. In a few palces they have crumbled away down to a depth of 4-5''. I am trying to restore them and am looking for some advice.
I have thought of a couple of plans...I have collected all the loose material and I thought about building it up with cement, dyed red, and pressing the collected loose sand into the wet cement. Alternatively, build up with cement and mix the loose stuff with waterproof pva and "skim" over the surface.
Does anybody have any thoughts on this?
