andy you cant work of a ladder any more and with a angle grinder big no no small scaffold would be fine one day to rake out and clean then point then clean up big ask two days max day halve min or long first day grinder hire and scaffold hire need to be priced good luck :;): ???

Average for pointing can vary and depends on the type of house so you know what mortar to use. 25 on the square meter is norm but as cookie advised you its not something you do off a ladder. :;):

many many variables andy
type of brick,type of pointing
you need to rake out at least 30mm and make sure the new stuff is pushed right in
£130 would be if it is eroded already to 30 mm and you can point with a jointing iron
more like £250 plus scaffold would be realistic
I would charge more but fings are dearer darn sarf
LLL :;):

A skirting ladder is what you need to use on a job like that :D
