Repair Process Overview

1. Assess the Damage: I will thoroughly inspect the mortar joints to gauge the extent of the damage, looking for cracks, crumbling, or missing mortar.

2. Prepare the Area: Using a wire brush, I will clean out loose mortar and debris from the joints to ensure proper adhesion of the new mortar.

3. Chisel Out Damaged Mortar: I will carefully use a masonry chisel and hammer to remove any damaged mortar, taking care not to damage the surrounding bricks or stones.

4. Mix the Mortar: Following the manufacturer's instructions, I will mix the mortar to achieve a workable consistency that is not too wet.

5. Apply New Mortar: Using a pointing trowel, I will fill the joints with the new mortar, ensuring it is packed tightly and flush with the surface.

6. Smooth the Joints: After applying the mortar, I will smooth out the joints for a clean finish, utilizing a jointing tool for a professional look.

7. Clean Excess Mortar: I will wipe away any excess mortar from the surface of the bricks or stones with a damp sponge before it hardens.

8. Allow to Cure: I will let the mortar cure according to the manufacturer's instructions, keeping the area moist if necessary to prevent cracking.
