Better than some others but a bit rushed on detail especially doing vertical joints.
Perpendicular joints
Hi what kind cement we need
Just General purpose cement mate
Lime!!!! It’s an old wall!!!
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.
Poor technique, I was always taught to brush diagonally across the joints (in the video the repairer brushed along the joints which is likely to pull the mortar out).
You've used a bar jointer on a wall that's been pointed with a trowel. Absolute nonsense.
You need to do better than this to instruct people. You say use a cold chisel when you show a pluggjng chisel, it's perps (perpendicular) not perks joint and you have a half round joint when the existing is weather struck. Try getting your facts right before producing bad videos.
why would they need to get their facts straight if they want to produce bad videos?
