Brick work

lovely

is that the DPC peeking out ?

 

I can't answer the second question with any accuracy but you might be needing to contact your guess at what DPC stands for if the rest of the building is to the same standard

DPC = damp proof course

I don't suppose there's a concrete slab floor on the other side of that wall, that was laid before the wall was built ?

 

for a yank bricky that's really rather good

 

no recommendations, other than a skim of render to hide it

 

have a nice day

 

Ronald, the mortar itself seems to be ok - it isn't crumbling or anything. The workmanship, however, is, umm, not very good.

I suspect the sub-zero temps did have something to do with this - the 'brickie' was probably half-frozen solid, numb-fingered, thickly-gloved, eyes frozen shut and shivering to the point of having zero control over his limbs. And it's poor by even these standards.

Is that the only exposed brickwork on the house? Hopefully so. In which case render it as Sean says.

But, that DPM - is it coming from under the house or is it just weird weed-control for the gravel? If the former, then wait for rain to come down the walls and make its way into the house...

 

, Who's been sneaking around taking pics of my jobs.

 

If you ask me it's been filled in with grey tile grout and randomly spread out with a cold, wet glove!
