I live in a Victorian terrace house. Around the outside walls at ground level there is a sloping 'chamfer' of mortar/concrete. I'm told the function of this is to 'throw off' rainwater running down the brickwork. Some parts are cracking away. The question is "do I replace this' or reattach it with mortar or is there a better/modern way? OR did they never work in the first place and do I simply remove them and put in mortar/grout where the wall meets the concrete area next to the wall?
