Frequently Asked Questions
What is tuck pointing, and is it the same as repointing?
No, they are different. Repointing is the process of replacing deteriorated mortar between bricks with fresh mortar. Tuck pointing is a more specialised technique where a coloured base mortar is applied flush with the brick face, and then a thin ribbon of contrasting mortar is pressed into a fine groove to give the appearance of very fine, precise joints. It is characteristic of high-quality Victorian and Edwardian brickwork.
Does my heritage home need tuck pointing?
If your home is Victorian or Edwardian and has decorative brickwork with very fine, raised mortar lines, it likely has original tuck pointing that may need restoration. David can assess the condition of your existing tuck pointing and advise on whether restoration or replacement is appropriate.
Do you match the colour and profile of existing tuck pointing?
Yes. Colour and profile matching is a core part of the tuck pointing service. David works with specialist subcontractors who have the experience and materials to match original tuck pointing profiles and colours as closely as possible, ensuring the finished result is consistent with the existing work.
