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.


Has the main part of this house got a flat roof ?
why is there no guttering visible on the flank wall.
