Heritage Masonry Repair around Unley Park
The study says of the property on Thornber Street, Unley Park: "The house also features tuck pointing, panelled windows with hand made glass". 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.
Tuck pointing is a fine finish a provider would have to match; this site has read no page defining it, so ask the provider what it involves and whether they have done it before. Ask the council whether approval is needed.
Permits and City of Unley rules
Whether masonry work here needs approval is for the council to confirm: the State's guide lists masonry and plaster and re-pointing among the work that typically needs development approval at a State Heritage Place or Area.
