TUCKPOINTING
Tuckpointing is where two contrasting colours of mortar are used in brickwork to give the impression of fine joints. One colour will match the bricks and the other colour will be a contrasting colour (such as white or black). This contrasting colour will create a fine joint which gives an impression of perfectly gauged brickwork. In order to achieve this, the original mortar is removed before applying the two new mortars.
Benefits of Truckpointing:
- Increase the value of your property
- Improve aesthetics
- Stop or prevent water leaking into brickwork
REPOINTING
Repointing is needed when the existing mortar is deteriorated and decayed; basically like white dust falling out of the mortar joints. This is caused by weathering and decay that cause voids in the joints between masonry units, usually in bricks, allowing water to enter. This can cause significant damage through frost and salt dissolution and deposition.
Benefits of Repointing:
- Repair the integrity of walls and buildings
- Increase value of property
- Restore appearance and condition of walls and brickwork

Wall Ties
Wall ties, or tie in a cavity wall, is used to tie the internal and external walls constructed of bricks or cement blocks together. This is an essential element in the stability of a cavity wall.
Improper installation may lead to water damage or fungus formation within the cavity, leading to structural and health hazards. Wall ties are exposed to water and chemical attack from cement which requires the installation of new ties.
Our professionals use a dry-fix method to retie the outer brick with the internal brick.
