This is not tuck pointing. This is just regular standard pointing.....

That doesn’t look like every joint was ground

Also what do you do when theres large gaps? Which vreate a bulge/off plumb? Do you hammer them in ..

What made you choose type s? Just curious

May be a couple dumb questions, but what does the acid wash do for the mortar? And is it necessary to do after I'm done with my tuckpoint job?

That bag thing means you're getting too much mortar on the front of the joint and too little at the back - where you need it to bond to bricks and existing mortar.

How much does a job like this run?

I have done masonry renovations for years, grout bags do not provide the proper psi and the joints will fail, you need to use a, TUCK POINTING TOOL, simple don’t cut corners

hawk and a pointer is much cleaner

The term ‘tuckpointing’ in North America seems to be used for what we in the UK simply call ’pointing’. Tuckpointing over here is something very specific; it entails flushing up the joint with a mortar colour matched to the brickwork and then tucking a quarter inch bead of contrasting colour mortar into it. There are several excellent videos demonstrating the technique on RUclips.

Where you buy the tools for the joints and the adapter for the grinder to vacuum

very nice

Great video.

Which bonding agent are you using and why?

I noticed your crown didn’t have an overhang. What reasoning do you have for doing an overhang vs not doing an overhang?

Excellent video. Full of helpful information and demonstration. Great technical jargon 😂

Have watched a fair amount of videos on this topic. This is the best one by far. Clearly a professional who explains his trade well. Super helpful for an upcoming project I have. Thank you!

no plastic or tarp to protect the shingles? nice.

Only thing I would have done different is put something down on shingles to catch excess mortar….Nice job !!!

Ffs, please make a proper crown

God the bricklayers and lead workers are BAD tradesmen , it’s plain pointing not Tucker pointing but that’s America for ya changing the meaning of words lol

Not happy the roof wasn’t protected where the concrete excess accumulated, the work is great but a small ounce of prevention would of made for a excellent job.

You should not need to acid wash if you are neat!! You are overfilling your verticals. I see that it appears to be a smooth face brick but I would get verbally assaulted for being this sloppy

Great video! Great job, you are a true master of your craft.

Great video.

Grout bags are awfully messy and tend to leave air pockets behind the new mortar. Try a tuck point trowel and Hawk…

What a shocking job ! Don't bother coming to England to do any pointing ha ha, the second you got your icing bag out to start pointing you'd be gone. Why don't you just use your flat or round pointing tool to push the "mud" in with ?

not a proper crown no overhang drip edge or bond break Just a mortar wash that will fail and start weathering w\ithin months! I have been doing this for over 40 years as a chimney mason !

Great video. What was the combination of cement for tuckpointing for the joints?

You must put your bag nozzle into the bottom of joint... Now you have more stuf out of the joint.. ...... This is not a good job.... 😢😢😢😢

THIS ISNT TUCK POINTING BTW!!!

Better to spray some water so new and old mud sticks Better

The current result is beautiful. The professional way of smoothing out mortar looks appealing compared to what I was thinking of from a finger dragged across a taped off area.

Tidy job nice

wow looks great, nice work!

What's a Job like this cost the customer

So beautiful

This is an interesting video but the proposition of working on a roof to retuck a chimney is almost impossible to imagine. One slip and you're done. But it's good to see the process by a professional.

How much does something like this go for?

How long does tuck pointing normally take?

Are there weather temps that should be avoided when tuckpointing? What is the optimal weather temp to do the work? 50 -75 degrees?

Thanks, man. Big help

I'm a mason for over 30 years and I've been a masonry contractor for about 10. What you have seen in this video is a true professional doing a very professional job. That chimney will be good, like new, requiring zero additional maintenance, for at least another 10 years after his tuck-pointing work on it. Well done sir.

Such a good video..

Come to NY and fix my chimney crown!

How much should a guy pay to have this done I'm in the south east I may have this done

Thanks for the tips & tricks

Really nice job there... I'd never heard of grout bags... so I've learend something and seen something to admire. Thank you. :)

Thanks! Looking to learn how to do this for the first time.
