if they are using scaffold cookie i would expect them to sheet it up so that no dust or chips fly into your side
i have an arbortech but it is as slow as bad castor oil, and we only use it for grinding inside
TBH if the house really needs pointing there wont be much grinding out,
if they have to use grinders then chances are the pointing is ok
I had a similar thing 3 years ago when the vicar next door got a crowd of builders from 40 miles away to do his house==> fair enough
anyway they started cutting his pebbledash off with kangoes and it was splattering all over my brand new bay windows
there was a very intense site meeting during which their boss offered me a "good drink" to lay the patio
i told him to put it where the sun dont shine and sort out some protetction for my windows.
after that the workers were fine and i made them tea when i was about with a few biccies thrown in
