repointing and refacing exterior brickwork All manner of questions and solutions to problems and issues surrounding the subject of brickwork, blockwork and stonework

[pete and lauren]

We have just bought a small Victorian terrace house and are not happy with the paintwork on the exterior. We want to know how much we'd have to get done to it ie repointing and refacing the bricks to restore the bricks to their original appearance (yellow brick). Can anybody advise?
