In difficult circumstances the builders did the pointing on 1 side of the house which is subject to the worst of the weather and patched up any they found on other walls. They sealed the brickwork with an oil based brick sealant which fixed the condensation problems we have endured for years. The lads enjoy the work and Pete is easy to get hold of and responds to texts unlike most builders. He has since handled a chimney breast removal again very good workmanship. I would recommend.
