Repointing and Tuckpointing are refurbishment processes that provide an aesthetic 'facelift' for old masonry walls, making the brickwork look almost brand new.

In this episode, your host Elizabeth McIntyre and Think Brick's civil engineer, Matthew Ching, will explain the repointing and tuckpointing process and the associated benefits.

The podcast incorporates the following topics:

  • The durability and longevity of bricks compared to the mortar that holds the brick together;
  • What it takes to repoint a masonry wall;
  • The processes of repointing and tuckpointing;
  • The benefits that come with this process;
  • The reasons why a professional tuckpointer is recommended (instead of doing it yourself);
  • and much more..
