'A mechanised system with proven advantages over the hand repointing method designed to meet British Standard Codes of Practice and to utilise British Standard mortar mix designs'.
The Gun-point services are based on a unique mechanical injection repointing system. Our systems include a unique range of power tools to ensure a proper depth of rake of the old mortar and our mortar pump and gun ensures new mortar is put back into the joint thoroughly.
At the heart of our service is the Gun-point mortar pump and gun.
This low-pressure, high volume machine is light enough to go up scaffolding and small enough to go down tunnels. It's powerful electric motor can pump any standard mortar mix as well as traditional lime mortars, and can accommodate all types and grades of gauged, masonry and cement mortars.
We like to use local sands that match the colour and character of the original finish but any colourants and other admixtures may be added to the mix as required.
This means that your repointing is finished to a high standard, on time and within budget, giving your building the look that you want.
