Do you always use a nhl 3.5 when re laying bricks even in structural load bearing work like archways or would u opt for a nhl 5 ?

[@GMTpointingspecialistsltd]

@mattyhayes7204 No, I'd use nhl3.5 mix it at a 1:2 or 1:2.5 I only use nhl 5 underground

That will protect it from the wind but won't hold moisture for long

@@GMTpointingspecialistsltd I'm trying to get myself ready to repoint my own house. can't find anything on re-pointing around drain pipes. I know you can't write an essay here but generally do they get removed and put back on?

[@GMTpointingspecialistsltd]

@turbotrout8216 yes easiest way is take them off when you grind out You can get a roll of tempory down pipe or just fit them back on till you repoint the property What year was it built
