Proper job, the times I’ve seen people do it with a pointing trowel all uneven no uniformity at all, even cutting left on one perpendicular right on the next 🤮tidy ✊

@kevocos 10 ай бұрын

Nice job Andy. Is it possible to do that pointing as you are building with the mortar the brick are laid with? Or, perhaps the wall needs to have been previously built so it's strong enough to be leant against. Seems like that kind of pointing is a job in itself separate from laying anyhow.

@bricklayersworldwithandy6277 10 ай бұрын

It is a job on its own, in Northern Europe its a trade on its own as it was in the UK untill maybe the late 1950s. Yes you can do it as you go but only on small jobs if using sand an cement. I built a big school project some years ago and we struck and cut as we whent but we were using NHL3 Lime

Nice job Andy, out of interest, what mix do use for that?

@bricklayersworldwithandy6277 10 ай бұрын

I keep it the same as the build normally which is always 5and 1,the pointing mix was 5 and 1 with a little bit of hydrated lime in it, I wouldn't use the lime myself but the builder wanted it.

Andy hope this is ok to post ...what are the thoughts on the RAAC CONCRETE , i didnt know much about it till local schools have been shut down , thing is this stuff cant be limited to schools what about tower blocks /office blocks /factorys etc. seems strange its only come to light in the last few weeks

@bricklayersworldwithandy6277 9 ай бұрын

I watched a TV programme on it a few years back, typical underfunding by the government as they knew it had a 30 year lifespan, the problem with it is that some of the planks were under calculated and the concrete itself is very porous so if allowed to get wet water in ingress can rust the reinforcing. It was used in schools, offices and some housing but ive not heard of it being used in tower blocks.

How deep ? Did you take it out , roughly, what mix did you use please ? What is that work on the square meter, these days … thanks

@bricklayersworldwithandy6277 10 ай бұрын

It's raked out between 12 and 15mm, the old rule is the depth is one and a half times the width of the joint, so if it's 10 miil the depth is 15mm. Standard mix for me with sand and cement would be 5 and 1, Lime mortar is a completely different Animal. I don't discuss prices on here as everybody's needs are different 👍

@LiamR-ee2hi 19 күн бұрын

I have a Victorian bayed house to re point , weatherstruck , could you tell me which type of sand are you using here please ? I am thinking of using silver sand but concerned the finish maybe too white

@bricklayersworldwithandy6277 18 күн бұрын

That is a sand and cement job on new work, silver sand will definitely be white unless you use a dye, if ime doing weatherstruck with lime i only use building sand anything else dosent cut clean, ive never had a problem with it.

@@Yiddo67 ive seen a few answers to this the one i think is probably correct is the Dutch were the first to make clay bricks as we know them now, the protrusion in the mould that forms the frog they call the kicker, the Dutch word for a frog is also kicker .
