How do people resolve the following?
Exterior brickwork where a previously screwed lamp has been removed, leaving holes in the bricks where the rawlplugs are or were.
I know some people just leave these holes open, but that seems like a bad option to me because if water gets in there and freezes the brick could be damaged.
I haven't seen a filler in the likes of Homebase for repairing holes in bricks and the only way I can think of and have used to good effect in the past is to crush a piece of brick to give some brick "sawdust", then mix this into the hole with some regular filler. The result is usually fairly pleasing visually - rather better than a gaping hole!
However maybe I'm scaling the rock face instead of taking the cliff path. Anyone else come up with a suitable solution that I've missed?
