tidy as ever but id like to see you pause a little longer on the finished article, it really is beautiful craftsmanship but I wish you would do a few closeups. the penny roll and the tuck pointing are all done so well.
That’s looks like sad cement weather struck next door. I got told you should never do that on solid brickwork as water soaks through the brick and isn’t able to escape through the lime mortar as the lime can’t breath and that why you get damp patches inside
It is weather struck and cut ,probably done with white cement , hydrated lime and fine sand . It is just rubbish , probably learned by watching the idiots on UA-cam , there are enough of them !!!
Great work, I only wish I could find someone in the North West to do such a good job. Plenty claim to be as good but they don't have a gallery to show their work ummm.
Very nice and tidy job. Can I ask you how do you clean the bricks? The red soft is very delicate I have tried to clean them with pressure washer but this damages the brick
That is excellent work and a credit to art of masonry re-pointing. I'm curious, is your term, 'penny roll pointing', a local vernacular for tuck-pointing? Or have you put the stopping material in and then rolled or did you cut it as traditional tuck-pointing is done?
Does grinding the face off the brick not take the strength away from the brick itself? Your removing the hard enamel and exposing the softer brick in behind
Let's tell it like it is -the penny roll finish doesn't have any pointing in the finished joint as the thin joints are set back a few mill meaning water will stay in the recessed joint and not run away as simple as the weather struck and even worse when it freezes as water expands.The weather pointing if done right( raked out washed down and strong mix} will repel the the water which is why it's called weather pointing and it'll be there for decades.If the penny roll had been filled in with sand and cement or lime like tuck pointing then it would have been a different matter as the joints aren't left exposed.
@@AmyWinehouse.914 do you honestly think when it rains the rain water runs down the bricks like a water fall and that weather struck pointing helps the water run down the bricks 😂 this is nonsense talk please
You honestly have no idea what penny roll pointing is please only comment if you have knowledgeable in pointing and restoration and materials in period houses

Check out Brookfield Brick and Stone Re-Pointing on Facebook. No vids only photos .

What dye do you use for your stopping mortar, I've had some horrible fading with some dyes! Cheers, looks good by the way
What cleaning agents did you use? Looks great

Its penny struck, or as he says penny rolled. Not tuck pointing. Small groove made rather than the other one which is highlighted with white mortar
Reds not Penny'd otherwise pointing would be in Red ...as yellow stocks are ....

No it won’t it’s proved over time it’s completely fine !! New soft imperial red bricks don’t come with a Hard face
What on earth happened to the pointing next door ?
How much is that job
Jesus Christ what is that mess next door? 15mil joints? They forget it’s not block work or something. Makes yours look like the monalisa
SHOULD OF WEATHER POINTED,, THE STOCK BRICK . not Just filling in the perps & bed joints then trowel innning it ?,,
We don’t do weather struck finish it’s a rough finish for your average builder
