Material
Brick, sandstone, flint, mortar and render behave differently. The repair should be compatible with what is already there.
A survey before a specificationLook at the cause.
Look at the cause.
Then plan the repair.
Good masonry work starts by understanding the wall, the defect, the exposure and the previous materials. The quote should explain what will be done and why.

Working principles
Four checks that shape the scope.
Exposure
Chimneys, parapets and west facing walls can receive more weather than sheltered elevations.
Access
Height, neighbours, conservatories and narrow routes affect the safe method and programme.
Water route
Open joints may be one part of a wider issue involving copings, gutters, flashing or ground levels.

Useful answers
How the survey works
These answers cover the usual starting points. The wall itself decides the final specification.
What should I send with an enquiry?
Send the postcode, a phone number, the main problem, and clear close and wide photographs if available.
Can the work be scoped from photographs alone?
Photographs are useful for triage, but height, access and hidden defects often require a visit before a firm scope is confirmed.
Will the mortar be selected for the property?
The existing wall, brick or stone, exposure and previous repairs are considered before the mortar and finish are proposed.
Do you cover commercial property?
Send the property details and access requirements. Suitable commercial masonry enquiries can be reviewed individually.
