This is a very bold weather-struck type of pointing, which dominates the walls appearance, and is questionable if this is an old solid wall based on lime mortar. If any would-be pointers require reliable technical guidance on repointing, do take the trouble to read the Building Research Establishment publication “Good Repair Guide No 24” (Repointing external brickwork walls) as this provides authourative information, including clarifying suitable mortar mixes, warnings of when worn pointing affects structural integrity and the importance of using lime pointing on old solid walls. Its only 10 squid.

amazing work

[@markswallow1517]

You should have dampened the old mortar first. But nice and neat not to heavy.

99% no wait 100% of videos on pointing are on these plain flat type bricks. I would like to see some pointing done on bricks that have VERY uneven textured finish for example summerhill stone bricks.

[@nickapostolou4527]

The funny thing is, they are London yellow stocks which are the most pissed bricks going, no easy brickwork here

[@richardgrimbleby7853]

They look very shallow joints for 18mm do you not dampen the joints🤔

Perps ,?

[@garethedmondo2891]

I’ve seen pointing done a dozen different ways at least. This particular method gives a lovely result & that’s what matters.

[@highgatehandyman6479]

That way only works if you're left handed

[@nickapostolou4527]

Your clearly not a pointer if you think that any method is made one handed,

[@highgatehandyman6479]
