    Depends on the size of the wall. I had a quote of 70 per Sq meter recently

    I got two quotes when we got ours done. One was around £27 per sq metre. The other quote worked out at £56 per sq metre. This was down south and obviously there will be the cost of scaffolding on top

    we had our 3 bed semi re-pointed a couple of years back. Don't know square meter but it's an average sized semi. Cost us £1500 and the builders are mates.

    You need to make sure whoever does it rakes out plenty of the old pointing before re-pointing otherwise it will just fall out in a few years. Don't just go for someone who's cheap because you may end up having to get it re-done in a few years.
