This British Standard provides recommendations for surface repair of natural stones, clay brick, calcium silicate brick, glazed and unglazed terracotta, and faience masonry in buildings. It covers repointing and selection of mortars, and provides guidance on treatment for protection of surfaces.

Surface repairs of concrete and structural repairs are not covered by this code of practice. For guidance on structural repairs, reference should be made to BS 5390 and BS 5628-1.
