My home is only 13yrs old ( 3 BED DETACHED), however below the damp proofing membrane the pointing has flaked away and is soft to the touch. There is only around 4 metres of this, however in order to make it look neet I would be wanting around 10 metres re-pointing. There is also 2 broken bricks which i would like replacing. Not a big job I would have thought. The pointing is only 2 bricks high from the ground to the damp proofing.
