- Repointing brickwork using a hawk and trowel and finishing to a birds beak finish. I will show you how to obtain this finish for your brickwork project. A great pointing style for any type of brickwork, although it’s slightly more time consuming than a bucket handle finish, you will certainly make it an eye catching feature to any wall.

Nice to see someone doing this the right way and taking time to explain it clearly.
Thanks Randy, I really appreciate your comment. Will be putting some more handy videos out soon, just need the right job to come up.
@@CoastalWallTiesRustington Appreciate it! I do concrete (mostly skateboard ramps but also some sidewalks, patios, etc.) but have recently started doing some stone and brickwork, too. It's fun to learn and get better with each project.
Ah, that sounds like a great job. I’ve always liked the look of wood plank concrete stamping, would love to work with someone doing that kind of thing.
Its nice to see that Chris (real name) has time to do his hobby when Coldplay aren't touring...😉
🤣 I was going to do the pointing all YELLOW.
@@CoastalWallTiesRustington ha! 😀
Thanks mate, I got a case coming up with 380 m2 of this method, get paid per m2 so it’s perfect this!
Nice, we sell a diamond mortar raking blade that is really good and lasts a very long time. I reckon you could do 380m2 with 3 of them. Go to www.va-remedial.co.Uk if interested.
Really nice.....made total sense when you cleared the bed joint after doing the perps, those are the kind of small, almost throwaway tips that make all the difference. I freely admit I wouldn't have thought of doing that, I would have carried on filling the bed joint into the perp mortar.
Glad you found that handy little tip Jim 👍 thanks for watching.
Good clean simple explained video
Thanks for that
Another project coming up with the guys
Peace
Great job..very satisfying to watch
Verrry, very nice pointing. Well demonstrated.. Marketing very limited for such quality workmanship.
Thanks Donald, shame about the sound quality, and the brickwork doesn’t really do it justice. Thank you for the comment though.
Хороший и полезный урок 👍 чистая работа.best tutorial.
very nice [Bricky for over 40 years]
Thanks for the comment 👍 I bet you’ve seen some shocking work in your career.
You can now buy a pointing iron which does this far quicker and better
Obviously not doing half round pointing is he. That’s weather struck.
@@jonny3775 yes obviously as I said you can now buy a pointing iron that does it. we just built 3 houses with same pointing
Proper weatherstruck.
None of this silly straight edge stuff.
What price per meter for grind out and point for this style?
It would depend on your speed Nigel, and depending on your area, could vary greatly. I would say about £40 per sqm
@@CoastalWallTiesRustington my friend would you do that in Guildford for £50 square meter?
do you have a vid on the straight flat one mate no shape just flat
I don’t yet but I can certainly do one for you. Are you after a flush finish, weatherstruck or flat but showing the grain?
@@CoastalWallTiesRustington its ok i found one it was a completely flat one i was looking for but i got one now .
your helping me a lot with your vids iam on a course next week for pointing thanks
Good luck with the course and if you have any questions, just ask.
Could you Send me a link to the video you watched with the pointing you were looking for?
@@CoastalWallTiesRustington what are you using for pointing please I was going to use ready mix just add water from celco would that be ok
Wat cement is the best for this work???
and thanks
Any cement is fine, if your referring to mortar then a 5 sand, 1 hydrated lime and 1 cement will do, but it also depends on the bricks used as to the strength of the mortar.
@@CoastalWallTiesRustington I am looking at repointing my 1930s house... It's common brick... Would a 4 to 1 mix be okay.... Also looking at changing quite a few damaged bricks due to frost damage.... Would changing bricks effect the brick ties as not sure we're they would be located until I remove the bricks and don't wish to weaken the wall... I may be just being daft but thought it best to ask... Thanks and great videos by the way.
Very skillful demonstration of birds beak pointing however this is not a very subtle style of pointing and any suggestion of a 1:3 mortar mix is too strong unless you are dealing with engineering bricks. If any would-be pointers require reliable technical guidance on repointing, do take the trouble to read the Building Research Establishment publication “Good Repair Guide No 24” (Repointing external brickwork walls) as this provides authourative information, including clarifying suitable mortar mixes, warnings of when worn pointing affects structural integrity and the importance of using lime pointing on old solid walls. Its only 10 squid after all.
Do your perps first😀
No wonder this job is so expensive.....
It's not raked out deep enough
How deep do you think it is then Mark??
@@CoastalWallTiesRustington doesn't look like 20 mm from here. But I'm in western Australia. Or wutopia as i call it no disrespect intended
It’s actually 25mm believe it or not, just really large joints. Nice, what I’d do to live in Australia, beautiful country. Just a note with your other comment about perps first, I did say in the video you can do it either way but perps first is the general rule of thumb. Thanks for watching. 👍 have a good day mate 😉
No worries mate
