Hi All,
We've had out Linden Home for a year now and I'm getting more and more concerned about the quality of the brick work. They used a lime mortar with red engineering brick. Having made SUCH a dogs dinner of it on so many priorities they have changed to a more traditional grey mortar on the newer properties which I have to say look much better.
I kicked up a stink when we moved in because the brick work was so filthy. They sent an old boy around with a bucket of acid and a paint brush for a few days and it is only mildly better in the worst areas.
We have wonkey bricks, damp course showing, inconsistent perp joints, chipped bricks, cracked bricks.
Photos attached. Can anyone suggest what we should do? Is this cosmetic or should we be concerned?
