Tuck pointing Teddington

This tuck pointing is done when someone needs a quick treatment. In this treatment the old mortar is removed and replaced with a new one, which gives the original look like the previous one. A groove of 5mm deep and 3mm wide is created at the mid of the mortar joint. Then it is packed by white cement putty having an outgrowth of 3mm. In the lime mortar the correct ratio of lime and water is mixed to achieve the right consistency.

Stages in the repointing method

There are five stages in the process of repointing.

The first step is the pointed mortar joints are raked out up to the depth of 13-20mm. The second step includes the cleaning of the raked joints so that no dust and left over old mortar is left behind on it. Take the mortar in a plate of a rectangle shape made of iron. With the help of a tool, the pointing is completed with the full finishing and neatness. After the completion of work, special care should be given to your work. In the case of lime mortar, care for three days should be given, and in the case of cement mortar, care of ten days is necessary.

Sandblasting

The sandblasting is the process in which we used particles of sand at high pressure for cleaning purposes. In the sandblasting the high-power sand blasting machine is used which sprays the particles at a high pressure. An air compressor is used for the release of sand particles at high pressure. The named sandblasting states that it blasts the surface with sand particles which make the surface smooth. In the process, first sand is poured into the machine. The sand blasting machine is connected to the air pressure machine. When this air pressure machine becomes active, it propels the sand out at high pressure through a small nozzle. The abrasive property of the sand particles helps in clearing and making the surface smooth. The concrete is removed with this process; as a result, a smooth surface is obtained.
