cost to repair Victorian brick wall
In the midlands. What's the likely estimate to repair a brick wall with many spalling/frost damaged bricks? The wall is 1st floor, houses the bathroom. Damage is just on the south facing wall which is the most exposed. Estimate it's about a 2mx3m area and at least half the bricks are blown, some badly some just going now.
