Cracking vid Josh. Like a bit of pointing myself. Like sitting down on top of steps or chair or on a old beer crate on the lower section just chilling and pointing. Top job.👍👍👍

Thanks ror vid. I recommend for you. Cut a finger trowel down to about 100 to 125mm. Get a 10,and 8mm width ones. . Better for your hand. But its up to you to try

Great stuff, thanks for posting. I have a stone fireplace in the bq kyard that needs repointing. Any advice on cleaning the soot off the stones? Thanks again

@J.HarveyStonework 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching. Give it a good scrub with a hard brush. If that doesn’t work, try a simple watered down washing detergent mix or I think you can actually buy soot remover for stone but I don’t know if it’s any good.

Looking good mate. I have a question regarding some of the deeper joints between some of the stones. Some of these look to be 6 inches deep and look to be hollow behind the stone. How to you fill these up? Do you remove the stone and put mortar behind it?

@J.HarveyStonework 11 ай бұрын

Thank you for watching. Yes take out the stone and clear out, relay & repoint 👍

Amazing videos and I do also enjoy all the chit chat ha , very informative - I am cleaning and repointing my garden stone wall that was pointed with cement and looked dull and ugly - some joints unfortunately are so deep I can squeeze my whole hand in !! I chose Ready mixed lime putty (from Ty Mawr lime) to repoint as this will have been what was there originally. I raked the joints out a few months ago and have 't had time to get to pointing - some small plant life has appeared as there is a fair amount of soil in the wall . What would your course of action be ? Should I spray the wall with anything to kill off the growth and also do I need to pack the voids in stages to allow the mortar to not get too deep and stop it from curing ? And if doing it in stages how many days to leave between adding layers Cheers !!! Any advice is highly welcome ! -Eve

Thank you very much for watching! Get as much info from the supplier as possible, like care, temperature risks etc. Get the joints as deep as possible and clear out everything. Try to fully kill off & remove any foliage etc & always point the joint fully (in one go) and if you have any deep holes just add some stone so there’s not too much mortar! Like I say though, get as much info from the supplier as you do get different tolerances of lime, especially putty 👍

Me being a bit dim - would I be right in saying that the mortar mix is also going to depend on colour of existing surrounds? And the colour of the stones in the wall itself? Didn't realise it could get so technical! Said I was a bit dim!

@J.HarveyStonework Жыл бұрын

Yes, you always want to match the surroundings. Luckily on this one it’s not conservation as if it was you normally have to provide a sample of pointing before doing the job to make sure it’s spot on! 👌Thanks for watching 👍

I use lime mortar quite a bit and yes it's affected by background like existing mortar in the wall, dampness in wall, etc.

@v8mooowder354 5 күн бұрын

@@J.HarveyStonework I also recently realised quite how different the final colour can be depending on which producer of lime you buy. Was trying to match an existing recently done lime mortar, with the same mix (client had a note of the mix) and I could not get the same colour. Used the same lime as his original mix and hey presto, the correct colour came out. When compared the two powders side by side, I was very surprised how different they were, Secil was very grey when compared to the Saint Astier I ended up using.

The same as general building sand but just ginger in colour. Thanks for watching Paul 👍

It's crushed sandstone, common in south Somerset, I think it's ham stone.

I got the hydrated lime from bnq but it doesn’t say nhl on it ?

@J.HarveyStonework Жыл бұрын

I only use hydrated lime if using cement with it. Hydraulic lime is what you want, normally 3.5 nhl 👍

Do a 5,1,1 mix 5 sand, 1 lime ,1 cement give your stone a bang with ur hammer if it's like iron then your good to go , it's what a lot of companies are going for now
