Hello,

I am in the UK and live in a property that dates from 1620. The house
has two Inglenook fireplaces that share a common chimney (but
different flues). The previous owner did not use the fires for at
least 30 yrs. As I am the new owner, I wish to use the fires again.

The parging is coming away in several places and there is
repointing/relaying of some bricks required.

Can anyone recommend the appropriate parging and mortar mixes I should
use in this case?

Thanks.
