Brick repointing on the North Shore

Yes. Brick pointing, pointing and repointing all mean renewing the mortar joints between the bricks. Tuckpointing is a decorative finish on top of that: the joints are filled in mortar coloured to the brick and a fine raised line is run along each one.

Yes. Repointing only the worst sections is common, and there is no minimum job size. The new joints are matched to the old so the patch does not stand out.

Raking out old mortar makes dust, so windows, doors, paths and garden beds near the wall should be masked or covered, and the wall cleaned down as the work goes. You can see it in our photos: tape round a window frame in Strathfield, a covered tiled verandah in Earlwood. Ask us how your job will be set up before the work starts.
