Good heavens, those must be special buildings. Why not remove and replace bricks? Surely that would be quicker and stronger?

But if you remove the facing of the brick you will reduce its longevity

It almost looks faster to lay brick. I can't see this being as strong as tuck pointing because there seems to be unnecessary layers. Lovely result in the end though

Hi Peter, thanks for your comments and would add that that Wigging Pointing remains in place today one some of the Georgian buildings around Dublin is therefore testamount to its longevity. Am sure this is the case for Tuck Pointing too. Regards

Thanks for this. I've moved into a house with quite a lot of spalled brickwork and will try this instead of getting a brickie in who will most likely say 'naaah mate all gotta come out innit'.
@reaper-sz5tm10 ай бұрын
If it spalls you can do this and it will last quite a while, but a genuine new solid brick will always last longer. It’ll just cost A LOT more to have done

An awful lot of unnecessary repointing is done to undamaged joints with modern mortars that don't match in appearance or hardness. In fact most repointing.

It looks like a fantastic end result, after a lot of labour needing to be put in. As a Surveyor though, I can't say that it feels a sensible finish to have the protruding shelves collecting rainwater, especially in Ireland.

Didn't know bricks could be repaired this way, this is awesome!

Am I the only one who thinks the end result looks terrible? You can see the outlined mortar repair and it’s now lost all its character? 🤷♂️ should have left the ones repaired and just repointed the rest
