No!

So they can't blame torrential rain washing the mortar over the face of the bricks.

Just poor workmanship.

What's your plan for the wall? e.g. Leave it to weather in, acid clean the wall, redo it, colour stain the mortar etc.

I have submitted a review to C'trade, they've asked for more info, which I've sent.

I'm doing a job for someone at the moment who has just given the builder who left the job a bad review. Checkatrade automatically send out a generic message back to the customer and also inform the trade.

Checkatrade might offer you a refund up to a grand. As long as you have photos, payment details etc. you're in with a chance.
