Is there a reason why there were gaps left between where the gutter pipe and the wall are (I have messily filled 3 of them)? Is it to ventilate the wall inside or because someone was lazy to the remove the pipe? Building is over 80 years old.
Gaps in pointing in exterior corner wall - why?

OP,
Dont even bother about "Gaps in the pointing". The pointing is a sand & cement mix thats been merely smeared on to the previous pointing - its already cracking and failing.
The chase needs to be 25mm deep with a 3:1 mix of sand and NH lime mortar used for any new pointing.
