Of the 3 pipes only one is connected, irs been like it for years only it was hidden behind a bush.
I m thinking cut flush the two unused ones and fill with mortar, any better ideas?
And change the used one to black?

Drill mortar around bricks (with pipes not in use) then remove and replace bricks. Either find similar, via brick finder or just find close and remove some bricks from less conspicuous place.I m thinking cut flush the two unused ones and fill with mortar, any better ideas?

I've filled similar holes with mortar and when almost gone off, used a pointing tool and a screwdriver point to form the mortartto match the brick and the mortar line.
Then coloured the brick in with red fence seal or similar mixed with black car polish to match the colour. If you take your time it can be almost indistinguishable,

Some ideas depending upon how fussy you are:I m thinking cut flush the two unused ones and fill with mortar, any better ideas?

What I'd do? Buy some mortar dye in red, fill the holes, forget about it.

There you go, Guv, all done. That'll be £1500 to you; normally I'd charge five grand but you're a nice fella. By the way, I couldn't help noticing that them ridge tiles look like they need re-pointing. Can do you a deal on 'em if you want.I m thinking cut flush the two unused ones and fill with mortar, any better ideas?
