    There is a chance you are losing mortar as a result of the damp course breaking down. I would suggest before you consider repointing that you have it looked at first. Bunnings will have pre mixed bagged stuff you can use to repoint with but I don't know if it is OK to use it against what is probably lime mortar. Someone else may comment on that.
