Repointing using Lime Based Mortor The sand and cement pointing must be removed using hand tools ensuring that the brickwork is not damaged. After removing the sand & cement to a depth of 2.5 times the width of the joint the brickwork must be rinsed using low pressure water to ensure all debris has been removed and repointed using a suitable hydraulic lime based mortar.
