How to point a plain tile verge

In this video I will show you how to point a plain tile verge. In my previous video I showed you how to lay and bed the tiles on the verge.

Enjoyed that and funnily enough, found it very relaxing.

Great video mate. You got any jobs going? I've been a slater/tiler for 30 years but have always been on price working for a firm. Everything has to run at 100mph to earn decent money. I'd love to slow it all down to get more job satisfaction. Love watching your vids 👍

[@roofinguk]

Appreciate the positive comments. I’m lucky the firm I’m on is pretty relaxed.

[@akay4856]

Can you show video of how to bed them, and setting them out? Thanks 👍

[@roofinguk]

I have made a video of this. If you go on my channel you’ll see how this is done. I have recorded with one hand and bedded with the other so hopefully the video is clear. If you have any more questions please send me another comment.

Can I repoint after re bedding a verge few days ago

[@roofinguk]

Not really it’s best to point it the day you do it. If you put a thin layer of cement over the verge when the frost finally hits the cement work it will just start flaking and cracking and look like a mess.

Hi What mix do you use and ratio please. Also do you add plasticiser? Thank you 😊

[@roofinguk]

I always use a 3 sand 1 cement mix. I prefer to use ready made mixed sand. Has a small quantity of shard sand in it to make the cement stronger and firmer to work with. Also no plasticiser.

[@ffortezza2402]

@@roofinguk is it sharp or soft sand ? Thank you

[@roofinguk]

@@ffortezza2402 in builders merchant they might have bags of mixed sand which is a mixture of sharp and soft but if you can’t get hold of this then soft builders sand will be ok.

[@roofinguk]

@@ffortezza2402 also I have done a video on how to lay the tile and bed the tiles on with cement. Thanks.
