    What do people think about using resin to bond brick and stone? Traditional repair work would use lime mortar (rather than cement) as it has that little bit of give. Does resin also do that?

    Our offices have been receiving calls from folk desperately trying to find out what it is. Not quite sure why they think they would get the desired answer when it hasn't been broadcast elsewhere though! Maybe we should give our office staff a...

    Probably cost - cheap in the middle, pretty on the outside. The problem - to my simple office worker's knowledge - doesn't sound that serious. Re-waterproofing, and repointing, with some brick replacement - that was the issue with Stanway...

    Thanks - I went back 250 posts, but didn't see that. Must have dozed off for a minute... Falling bricks is often caused by water/freezing, due to failed water proofing. We had that as an issue on the GWSR. Might want to deal with that first.

    If it were GlobalMegaCorp PLC doing the work, probably not. But for an organisation that is making an appeal for every penny it can get to fund the works, I’d expect every opportunity possible to push the message (1) look how much we’ve done...
