Repair eroded soft red chimney bricks

  • Location: Elthorne Heights
  • Hired: Stork roofing
  • Trade: Bricklaying
Job Description

Repair three courses of eroded red bricks either by slips or colour matched mortar repairs.

There is scaffolding up at the minute around the house so access is safe and relatively straight forward.

The chimney stack is perfectly fine, stable and well pointed in yellow stocks, and so I don't want/require entire stack to be taken down to lowest soft red course and rebuilt.

I had thought about posting this job under roofing but this is really a brickie's job. If the response is poor I can always re-post
