- A "How To" video on pointing with Lime Green Product's range of Lime Mortars.
Our lime mortar and lime grout can be used for bedding and pointing brick, block and stone in a wide range of projects including building renovations, conversions, conservation work and eco-friendly new-builds.
And because like all lime-based products they're ‘breathable', moisture within your walls can escape. Not only does that create a healthier and more natural living environment within, but structural brick and stone remain dry and sound.

I have specified this coloured mortar for a Norwich project, I was very pleased with the outcome and the contractors found it straight forward to use.
Can you mix hydrolic lime with lime putty so to quicken setting time ?
Always remember to pack out the joint, unlike in this video.

Two more comments.
Use a pointing trowel...
How do you secure hessian cover to the brickwork? I understand it needs weeks of protection from rain and wind. What's an easy way to secure hessian?
No sand?

Mortar for historic buildings should not be that wet when repointing. It should be drypack. You should be able to create a ball with the damp mortar. Also, the mortar needs to be PACKED into the joint, not lightly pressed in like that guy is doing. He's going to end up with air gaps inside the joints, and the outer mortar will just fall right off in short time. Don't cut the vertical joints with a grinder, or you end up cutting up the bricks like this bonehead did. Use a chisel! Yeah, it looks real good with vertical cuts in the bricks horizontal edges where they aren't supposed to be. Don't finish the joints until the mortar is thumbnail dry. You should barely be able to depress it with your thumbnail. Keep them damp by spraying afterwards, and cover from sunlight if the wall is in direct sunlight while curing.
Poor Skills mortar to wet he is right handed so should point from right to left further compressing the last toolfull as he goes. He should also be creating a wedge shape on his hawk so the mortar goes all the way to the back of the joint.
Decent products. A shame however that the tools/techniques in this vid aren’t as good. The mortar chosen for this job also looks questionable.
