Pointing

Pointing stone is the process of filling in the gaps between bricks or stones in a wall with mortar. It involves using chisels, hammers, and other tools to shape and sculpt stone into beautiful and intricate forms. Stone carving can be done by hand or with the help of machines, and it can be used to create anything from small decorative items to large sculptures.

Pointing is the process of filling in the gaps between bricks or stones in a wall with mortar. It is an important part of brickwork as it helps to protect the wall from weather damage and erosion. Pointing can also improve the appearance of a wall, giving it a more polished and professional look.

To begin pointing, the old mortar must first be removed from between the bricks. This can be done using a chisel or a specialised tool called a pointing trowel. Once the old mortar has been removed, the new mortar can be applied.
