You could hack out the mortar around the bricks, turn the brick
round and re-mortar - that way you won't have to find matching
bricks

Hi,

I'm planning to fix a couple of aerial brackets to the side of
the house,
but before I do it would seem wise to remedy the spalling bricks
and
re-point.

Rather than describe the current problem, I've uploaded some
pictures -

Do I need to replace the spalled bricks? Or can I repatch them?
Should
I seal the wall? The mortar is fairly sandy and mixed with
gravel.

Thanks,

Steve.
