What is Brick Pointing and Brick Repointing?

Brick pointing and brick repointing are two terms that are often used interchangeably, but they actually refer to different processes. Both of them involve repairing the mortar joints between bricks, but they have different purposes and methods.

Brick pointing is the original process of filling the gaps between bricks with mortar when building a brick wall. It is also called bricklaying or brickwork. The quality of brick pointing affects the appearance, strength, and durability of the brick wall. 

Brick pointing can be done in various styles and patterns, such as flush, recessed, weathered, struck, or tuckpointing.

Brick repointing is the process of repairing or replacing the damaged or deteriorated mortar joints between bricks. It is also called brick restoration or brick repair. Over time, the mortar joints can crack, crumble, erode, or decay due to exposure to weather, moisture, pollution, or other factors. This can compromise the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of the brick wall. 

Brick repointing involves removing the old mortar and replacing it with new mortar that matches the original colour, texture, and composition.
