hi i have bought a 17th century cotage in hampshire with solid wall with a english bond . someone has pointed with cement hence i have some very badly damaged bricks ,i have managed to turn several bricks a couple at a time however it is a slow operation.what would you advise the course of action to take ie to enable removing more bricks at a time ,i also have got some poor recent brickwork above the lower window and beneath the upper . if you require pics i will give it a try
