Ask your QuestionHow much does it cost to hire a specialist to repoint a 5-6 square metres area of a wall? What about the labour and supply costs individually? Alternatively, is this something that I can do myself? If so, what should I know and roughly, what are the steps involved?

"Approximately 150 to 180 pounds varies according to type of pointing required, this is something you could do yourself but can be very dusty if a grinder is required. It needs raking out to a depth of 15 to 20mm before wetting(to remove dust and aid adhesion) before repointing."
