Pointing on chimneys in Victorian houses - does it need to be lime as elsewhere?
Just seen some photos of mine close up and looks a lot like cement mortar, all the lime mortar here was black as mixed with with coal slag. Surprisingly it doesn't actually seem to have a terrible effect so wonder if it's possibly an exception to the rule of using like-for-like materials to original. Maybe different, harder bricks than elsewhere were used...
