Thank you so much for your tips. I started doing some repointing jobs here and there and I'm very glad i came upon these videos. I wanted to do it properly and i found the right place
Lovely neat job that: look like they grew there 👍🏻. I’m always surprised how dry your mortar is because I would naturally assume it needs to be wetter so it’s something I’ll need to consider when I start on my house. Excellent demo, thanks.
Thank you I use a semi dry mix as you can control it better it doesn't stain the brick or stone The joints are damp that your pointing and I mist it with water after I point If its too wet it can stain and crack If you need any advise or have any questions feel free to ask
Been working on an old Watchtower faced with beach cobbles ( all 40,000 of them!) for nearly 20 years and even so enjoy watching your videos. Have to say I find using gloved hands the only way to apply the mortar as the curved and varied gaps between the cobbles make use of a trowel really awkward.
Hi Glenn. Thank you for sharing your skill and technique here. I have found it very helpful as I am working on an old schoolhouse that was rendered in cement and now I am removing this and repairing as I go. Do you have any advice or video on tidying up wall corners and returns to door architraves ?

@@GMTpointingspecialistsltd thanks Glenn will do and I appreciate the offer of help. Top man.
No worries here to help
hi, is it possible to do this as you point or should you always do this before then point the next day?
I always do it the day before or a few days before
It's in case it shrinks or cracks
