  • Interested in what range of quotes you got for your pointing work?
    Just had a quote for £11k (including scaffolding) for repointing the whole front of house and half of our large side wall.
    It's a bit steeper than thought as the Surveyor estimated £3.5k for brick repairs...
    Loads of the wrong cement pointing has blown and lots of bricks are f***ked.
    Plaster on the interior wall has blown too because of it - so needs doing.
    The guys who quoted us have done a couple of house fronts in our street and have done a good job.
    Just don't know if it's worth chancing someone else...

  • £11k seems a bit wild.

    They are possibly playing to the 'we are the go to guys on your street - anyone else will fuck it up' card.

    But...it's just pointing....£1k max for the scaffold maybe.
