What is Tuckpointing?
Tuckpointing refers to the process of removing the old mortar from the joints and replacing it with new mortar that is a similar colour to the bricks, then using narrow lines of putty down the centres of the new mortar joints to create a pleasing contrast.
Why is Tuckpointing Important?
Tuckpointing is about more than simply renewing the beauty of your masonry—it helps keep your building safeguarded against moisture. The mortar plays an important role in keeping water and pests out, sealing the gaps between bricks. Tuckpointing is a vital part of preventative maintenance for your brickwork.
