Renovations have been carried out on an old building next to my work, all
the pointing has been re-done but water is still seeping through.
The walls are granite, not sure how thick but at least a foot I would
imagine.
The builders are saying that granite is porous and that's where the water is
getting in, sounds unlikely to me but I'm sure someone here has an expert
opinion.

I believe it is, so is often sealed on the likes of worktops etc. Not
sure it's porous enough to 'leak' in that sense though?

All the best ..
