Crumbling bricks

Question

The brick faces on the front wall of my house are crumbling. Can they be repaired or do they need replacing?

Fred · Answer

The correct way is to replace I suspect frost damage on the bricks causing for the face to blow

Benne · Answer

yes it can be repaired,
Arrangement and preparation should be at hand to build
a new brickwall  once noticeable
 saving from further damages.

Gavin · Answer

They need replacing, it's called spelling what's happened to them rain or ice has blown the front off the brick

Kenny · Answer

Cut out and replaced, alternatively meshed and coated with a render finish

Behrouz · Answer

Hi for a permanent fix they need replacing they are called "spalled bricks" it is probably more straightforward forward to have them replaced too.
Repaired would be temporary just skimmed with cement but after rain and frost the cement would crack and crumble and fall out.
Hope this helps 
Many thanks

Its better to replace blown bricks as they become more pourus, which may cause damp issues, plus the cost of repairing is more expensive to do them properly

Craig · Answer

They would need replacing due to the weathering and moisture thats caused this to happen.

First, you should thoroughly clean the surface. Then, you must remove any crumbling mortar and cracked bricks. Apply new mortar to the cleaned joints and then finish them to match the existing mortar. New mortar must stay damp for a few days and then cleaned from the wall.
