Paint, re-render or otherwise seal some old eroded brick

$150

Kambah ACT, Australia

31st Dec 2024

House recently bought, part of the house is on a slope and as such has what I can only assume to be some water erosion of some of the render/underlying brick. Does it just need some paint? Maybe some mortar? Whole new render? Not pedantic, probably just need to stop water getting in. I am looking into getting some additional drainage put in separately.

Good dude, efficient, knows a lot about property maintenance.
