Tuck Pointing | Tuckpointing: Same Name, Same Craft, Same Precision
Whether you search for ‘tuck pointing’ or ‘tuckpointing,’ the meaning doesn’t change – it’s a highly skilled aesthetic brick finish, carefully applied to restore the beauty and integrity of your brickwork.
What Tuckpointing Really Is
Tuckpointing is more than just mortar replacement – it’s a specialised brick finish that involves applying a fine, raised white line over a darker base mortar to create the appearance of perfectly uniform joints. Originally developed in the 1900s to disguise uneven bricks, tuckpointing has since become a signature detail that enhances the character and street appeal of a home.
The Federation Tuckpointing Approach
We are known for delivering authentic, high-quality tuckpointing services throughout Perth. Our process involves:
- Carefully grinding off old tuckpointing and preparing the wall.
- Applying a custom-mixed darker base mortar, specifically matched to the property’s period and existing brickwork.
- Precisely marking and taping the joints to ensure flawless alignment.
- Applying a fine, white epoxy mortar to create crisp, raised lines typically 2-4mm wide.
- Removing the tape to reveal a perfectly finished tuckpointed wall.
We can vary base mortar mix based on the brick colour, house period, and the desired look to ensure a seamless result that integrates beautifully with your home.
Why This Matters
Our tuckpointing is not a cosmetic patch – it’s a detailed, skilled process that strengthens your walls, preserves their character, and increases your property’s value. We can restore, repair, and blend tuckpointing to make old areas look new, or new areas blend with the old.
Expert Tip
Excess moisture is a key reason tuckpointing deteriorates. As part of our process, we always recommend applying a damp-course protective membrane to prevent rising damp and protect the longevity of the tuckpointing finish.
