The top layer of bricks on the wall surrounding our flats, built in
2003, has started to spall due to the freezing weather last winter
and
probably the wrong bricks used by the builder.
The builder and NHBC have both denied any responsibility and it is
down to us to solve the problem as economically as possible. Court
action would probably be expensive and futile.
We could of course have all the top layer removed and replaced by
the
correct type of brick, but does anyone have a cheaper solution?
The wall is about 300 metres long.

When we had a similar problem on the top of the walls of an
industrical unit, we installed a capping of folder zinc sheet and
totally solved the problem - contractor made a very neat and tidy job
of it.
