The wall had been in place for approximately 130 years and needed some TLC. We removed the Staffordshire blue the coping stones, repointed the wall and refitted the coping stones.
We used standard cement and yellow building sand, a few of the bricks could have been replaced but the client wished to patch up the wall to minimise expenditure. The work took 2 days for one of our skilled bricklayers to complete.
various bricks are blowing, but the customer wanted to minimise the spend so we simply patched up as best we could. Sometimes it is possible to chop out a blown brick and then use the other inward facing side on the outside. however in practice if the face of a brick has blown then when extracting the brick from the wall it tends to break up and can’t be reused.
