joint width and depth make a massive difference danny
TBH i find easipoint goes off way too fast in brick work
when we did a chimney at xmas we used easipoint historic mortar
you have a far longer working life (2 hours)
assuming stretcher bond and 10mm joints with 25mm rake out i would say a bag for every 5 metres
cheers LLL

Thanks tone the only reason I'm considering it is because the guy is adamant he wants a white finish its a Victorian house in Brentwood and I tried getting a white colour using snowcrete and lime but to no avail. He has also asked me to lay a tiled Victorian pathway which im looking forward to doing it won't be untill after Xmas but requires estimate now.
Thanks danny.

If you use hydraulic lime mortar you may get pure white
