Hmm, first time I've ever thought it necessary to question your usually excellent advice.

No sweat. Perfectly willing accept my fallability!

You're right that damage annot be fully assessed till ivy is removed, but the property appears relatively new hence my assertion that the worst case likely is mortar damage requiring re-pointing.

But I may be wrong.

Oh! And where you warn of 'garden pests' I would mourn the loss of a wildlife habitat!

Fair enough G_M. As for pests I really only mean slugs and snails which have had a bumper time in reproduction in all this wet weather. We wouldn't miss a few of that slimy little wildlife.:beer: Cheers!

There is a lot more to worry about than just the brickwork. It looks like its covered a porch at the front and has spread over the gutter and onto the roof. Could be looking at damage to downpipes, guttering, soffits, facias, tiles, felting, battening and possibly even the structure of the roof.
