Pointing

Wall2Wall can specify modern cement based pre mixed mortars which are usually injection pointed into the 'beds', the pressure ensures full penetration of the mixture which is then compacted by hand and tooled traditionally.
The profile is usually 'bucket handle' (recessed bevel)
We can also undertake lime based pointing for period homes in a variety of finished and lime materials as well as being able to offer a mortar analysis service, we can also supply fly ash, brick dust and other Pozzolans.






Case Study

The owners of this Edwardian styled property carefully researched the internet to find the best solution to the problem of deteriorating pointing that was allowing the ingress of water.
Due to the very exposed coastal position of this house the original builders had used very high quality brick that generally was in good condition.
It was decided that the brick could be retained (although some other coating firms had recommended rendering the house and painting it which would have been a shame)
