Pointing - how often needed?
Pointing - how often needed?
Around a month ago, I decided it was time I did some patch pointing, areas where it had deteriorated. The place was last pointed, top to bottom, in 1985, so I was quite surprised any was needed at all. How long should repointing normally last please, if done properly?
Mainly, it was a 2 x 4 metre section, which needed redoing, on a double brick wall, no cavity.
