Brick repointing
Should old brickwork be repointed with cement?
Older soft bricks often need a more permeable mix; a hard replacement can concentrate moisture and damage in the brick faces. The mortar needs to suit the masonry.

Brick repointing — planning the work
For brick repointing, brick type, bond, mortar and the cause of any damage affect the work. Establish whether the job is a local masonry repair or needs structural assessment before specifying the finish.
