Pointing Brick Wall In Tight Space?

Looking to get wall built within a foot of neighbors conservatory side wall but bricklayer says no chance of pointing on hidden side with 1 ft or less of space.
Is this true or is their a way around it, although it will not be very visible i would still like it neat in case they remove the conservatory in the future.
Enjoy everyday like it's your last!

    Do the pointing as it is going up, any decent bricklayer can build a wall properly from the inside.

    Are you a brickie? I think there may be some with reservations about that.


    When relatives did it, they had their reasons for being deliberately untidy, (refusal of access, plenty of space) but I seem to remember Doozergirl saying that achieving a good finish overhand is tricky.

    I've seen some awful overhand work, so it will really be down to the experience of the layer.
