Always ask for references and examples of work from a contractor. If they can not provide any, chances are that they have unhappy customers, or that they have not undertaken any re-pointing work. Gaps in mortar caused over time by weathering and decay, not only look undesirable but can let in water, which through constant freezing/thawing and salt deposition can cause long-term significant damage and also issues involving damp. Poor or home-DIY repointing work can do more harm than good. Invariably it will not look good and can often raise the level of the mortar joint above the face of the masonry, causing the mortar edge to feather and bricks to degrade.
Please note. We are not taking on additional work, for 2019/20 due to current work load. My apologies, for any inconvenience caused. - Andy
