We're renderers/roughcasters to trade and occasionally do pointing. Similar to getting gear off the hawk, if you've never done it before you're going to drop it all.

@GMTpointingspecialistsltd Glasgow. Yes we use lime or cementitious depending on the job. Have a gable to lime render when the weather picks up we will spray it with pft ritmo.

Great video for those who need to master the basics. It looks so simple but can be tricky to get right with different mortars and if your mix is not the perfect consistency 👍

@@GMTpointingspecialistsltd I’m in the property maintenance game myself. Do a contract for social housing near me for the past 14 years. I mainly do kitchens bathrooms and plumbing carpentry side. Always like to keep in touch with other trades. Can’t say I’m a brick layer by any means but I can sure make a decent job of pointing if I need to. Got bits to do on my own home so always look out for videos on lime mortar pointing just to check my method of thinking etc 👍

Hi great video ,could you use hydraulic lime and sand on all properties from 1920 s onwards , and what is best sand to use ,and ratio ,thanks

@GMTpointingspecialistsltd

Yeah you can as when they stopped using hydraulic lime They used sand cement and hydrated lime I've repointed new builds in lime to look old Use a washed sharp or grit sand not building sand

love all of your videos 🎉❤. I did a brick replacement the other day. Any suggestions when only the face comes off but plenty of brick left ? I have seen old fixes where mortar + small stones are used to create a face for the brick.

Hi I always try to replace the brick These fixes are OK at first but don't last long

Kudos to you Sir. Thank you for sharing your skills and craft. How do you decide if your going to use a hot lime or a NhL lime on a property? Thanks. Rob

@GMTpointingspecialistsltd

If its a protected area or really soft bricks I will use a hot mixed lime but I don't use it hot Or I will use a nhl 3.5 or nhl 2 lafarge or Saint astier All depends on the weather conditions where you live as well
