    How hard is Pointing? Just had a quote for 3 grand to get brickwork on house done .. realise it's a time- consuming job, but at that price I'm ready to take it up myself! From what I can see, you remove the loose stuff & refill it with cement & tidy it up ....Surely that's just grouting outside!!

    It is that easy.

    If you know what you are doing. Why don't you just have a go on a corner of the house and see how you get on. Crap pointing looks *****.

    Have a search on the Sheffield forum for recommended builder etc

    There's the same names cropping up with good reports which may be a start.</p>

    RE: Find a builder Fi

    Yes send me some details... will they come to Sheff then? The guy doing the extension doesn't seem that interested, and it's gotta be a better option than diy!
