Hi guys,

Thought it was time to say hello to all the helpful gang that kept me on the straight and narrow last summer.

All the help you gave last year was fantastic, and much appreciated, hopefully you can help with my query......

I have a retaining wall in my garden that is showing signs of frost damage/spalling on the brickwork.

Does anyone know of a way to repair not replace the wall, but doesn't have a negative effect on walls looks?

I'm thinking time for damage limitation and time to keep moisture away as best I can, repoint? Weather-struck (trowel at an angle)?

There is weep holes in the wall.

House is 30 year old so walls can't be any older. think it's just run of the mill red bricks, nothing fancy.

Cheers
Cheers
