Bricks on our house got slightly damaged during the week (council doing work on footpath) and just wondering whether anyone knows if could lead to problems with damp. They're old redbrick. When we got the front cleaned a few years ago the guy said the bricks were in great condition and no fear of dampness but there is now scratches on some and a small chunk out. Can you get a sealant to cover the damaged parts?
