The two joint services

Tuckpointing or repointing?

Repointing renews worn mortar. It’s the right job when joints are soft, sandy, cracked or sitting back from the brick face.

Tuckpointing includes that repointing, then runs a fine contrasting line along every joint. Choose it when your wall had those lines and they’re faded, broken or missing. We’ll tell you which your wall needs before we quote.

Colour and joint shape depend on the existing brickwork.
