• Mortar joints should be bonded and sound
• Any defective mortar joint should be raked out to a depth of 12.0mm and repointed using Sika 1 Pre-Bagged Finishing Mortar made up with clean water

Walls/Concrete:

• All laitance shall be removed to expose coarse aggregate by mechanical or water blasting techniques
• On new concrete walls a retarder can be applied to the face of the shuttering followed by wire brushing and washing of concrete surfaces
