  • Thank you very much FreeBear,  my listed house was solid sandstone, I've never dealt with this before.  I'm semi detached and the neighbour has the same,  I think I'm stuck with it unfortunately.

    These are small gaps, so pretty much anything will do. You could literally squeeze in StixAll or similar, and press in a few bits of pea-shingle. Do you take walks on t'beach?
    Once painted, it'll be 'visible.
    I suspect, tho', that if you tap the surrounding areas, you'll return lots of 'hollow' sounds :neutral:
  • Thank you Bendy_House, I do go to the beach every day and will get some small stones. 

    Not going to tap anything in case the place falls down, I don't think anything here was done by a reputable tradesperson!
