Tuck Pointing

Tuck pointing is a specialised masonry technique used to repair and restore mortar joints in brickwork or stonework. It involves removing deteriorated or damaged mortar from between bricks or stones and then filling the joints with new mortar. The unique aspect of tuck pointing is the application of a thin line of contrasting coloured mortar laid precisely along the joint, giving the illusion of perfectly aligned and neatly finished masonry

Tuck pointing requires a high level of skill because it involves not only the removal and replacement of mortar but also the artistic application of very fine lines of contrasting mortar. This requires a steady hand and an eye for detail

Stone restoration

Stone restoration involves the preservation, repair, and enhancement of natural stone surfaces, whether they are architectural, decorative, or functional.

Repairing, cleaning, and sometimes enhancing natural or man-made stone surfaces to restore them to their original or near-original condition. Here’s a brief overview:

Cleaning

This step involves removing dirt, grime, mold, mildew, and other contaminants from the stone. Techniques can include chemical cleaning, pressure washing, or poultices for stain removal.

Repairing

Here, any damage like cracks, chips, or erosion is addressed. This might involve filling cracks with epoxy or resin, piecing back together broken stone fragments, or even replacing severely damaged parts with new stone.

More About Us

As esteemed members of the Guild of Master Craftsmen, we excel in tuck pointing, brick/stone cleaning, and restoring historic edifices, including iconic sites like the Royal Palaces and Whitehall in London and the South East. Tuck pointing, a delicate art, involves crafting a precise, raised mortar profile to mimic seamlessly laid brickwork or mask substandard brickwork. While traditionally featuring neutral or cream-colored mortar ribbons, modern tastes have occasionally introduced colored ones. Today, tuck pointing predominantly revives old brickwork with its original joint finish. For expert advice on stone and brickwork or to learn more about our services, please reach out to us.
