Heritage Masonry Repair in Norwood

Heritage Masonry Repair around Norwood
The review says of the property on George Street, Norwood: "selected coursed random-rubble bluestone, lined pointing and rendered quoins, frieze and brackets on the front wall. Random rubble bluestone with coarse pointing is used in the side walls." Of the property on Fisher Street, Norwood, it says: "Appears in reasonable condition for its age, although base of wall has been repointed suggesting damp repairs." It is a description of one house at survey time, not the wall today, and it does not say that any particular house is a heritage place.
The two items show pointing styles differing between walls of one house and repairs at the base of another. Ask the provider what the quote assumes about the existing joint profile and the mortar, and ask the council whether approval is needed.
