Tuckpointing is an art that has been passed down from one generation to another. It is a timeless construction technique used in masonry work. It involves two different colored mortar joints for the purpose of creating a pattern that resembles brickwork. In the old days, it was used as a way to remove and replace deteriorated mortar joints. But today, it is used as a decorative feature to create an aesthetic appeal on your home or office.
Tuckpointing can be described as a kind of pointing system in which very fine joints are used to make the brickwork look even and tidy. The process involves removing damaged mortar joints by use of chisels, grinding blades or with the help of circular saws. Once the damaged joints have been removed, fresh mortar can then be applied to fill up the hollow spaces left behind by the removal of damaged mortar joints. This is known as tuckpointing and can be done using various types of tuckpointing tools such as feather scrapers and masonry brushes.

– When the mortar between bricks and stones start deteriorating, we take it as a challenge to refurbish them in order to maintain the structural integrity of the building. The process involves grinding out old or damaged mortar joints, raking out loose sand and dirt, repointing or replacing missing bricks or stones before applying a new mortar mix to fill in the voids. This process also helps to prevent water penetration into your property from outside elements that cause dampness on internal walls and ceilings which can lead to mould growth on woodwork, plaster and wallpaper.
