Youll notice many of the faces of the bricks have blown off.

A quick fix would be to replace the worst bricks, inject a dpc, point the brickwork and apply a silicone sealant...or instead of pointing render the lot, but the bricks are still behind the render

From those pictures id walk away as your not a builder and it could end up being costly! Id even probs walk away myself...but as i say without being there its hard to tell!

HTH trudey ya bitch
