Tuck Pointing

Tuckpointing is similar to repointing however the end result is quite different. Tuckpointing creates the impression of perfect brickwork by applying a ribbon of lime putty over-restored mortar joints. This style of restoration is common amongst heritage buildings across Sydney. Tuckpointing not only looks fantastic, but it will also extend the life of your mortar and brickwork. Tuckpointing is a highly skilled traditional art that is labor intensive and requires the utmost precision and patience to deliver.

When it comes to tuckpointing your exterior bricks, the first step involves deep cleaning each brick before applying two mortars—the first which matches the brick color helps to conceal any abnormalities and provides the impression of uniformity, while the second layer enhances the aesthetic beauty of your building. Whether white or black, this thin line of mortar gives a stunning finish, increases the value of your property, and further protects and preserves the life of your brickwork.
