It is not only old buildings that may need tuckpointing or masonry repair, as even newer structures may have to undergo some sort of repair masonry. As mentioned in the section ‘Tuckpointing’, the process involves a specific method to repair mortar joints in a brick wall to remedy any flaws or damage. The process itself is quite simple and involves replacing deteriorated mortar joints.

Masonry repair can be quite delicate, even though working with brick may seem risk-free, and a lot of labor is often required. Various factors should be considered before undertaking any tuckpointing for repair masonry, including surveying the amount of mortar replacement needed and the size of the joints required. If such specifics are not taken under consideration, it could result in a join that is not properly tooled or shaped. It is also important to match the mortar to the existing color, aggregate size and strength.
