Bostik Express Pointing Mortar, Ready to Use, Weather Resistant, Colour: Grey, 310ml

Absolutely perfect for repairing damaged brickwork/mortar. Quick drying, easy to work into gaps and then painted within 4 hours.

I used it to repoint some ridge tiles and pointing on a chimney stack. After reading reviews i had some concerns but thought the positive reviews outweighed the negative. Tbh, I was very happy with the performance. I made sure the surfaces were clean and slightly damp. I used a metal caulk gun and was pleased that the mortar came out surprisingly easily and the tube width was good and wide to fit 10mm gaps nicely. Gravity will pull at the pointing so care is needed to ensure it is squeezed directly into the recesses. The colour is a mid grey and was a good colour match. Ive purchased 5 more tubes to finish the job. I'd definitely recommend it.

good stuff but depending on how big an area you need a few tubes

I ended up dispensing the whole tube onto a plate and using it from there , as it was just to hard to squeeze out of the tube while working . You will need a good quality dispensing gun and that probably didn't help in my case as I had a cheap one which ended up breaking . It actually went on quite well from the trowel once I started but I suppose the whole point of the product is being able to use it from the tube. I will probably make my own mix next time !

But quite pricey for actual repointing... better to make the right mix if you have a big job to do, but we had a few broken bricks from some numbskull previous Tennant putting up a hanging basket which was too heavy for the wall so the long nozzle really helped to get mortar in around a new brick which thankfully we had found in a pile of rubble from extension next door.Don't quite colour match the 60 yr old mortar but you have to look pretty close to tell

The media could not be loaded. Whilst the concept behind this product is good, it’s not practical to use. Within less than a minute of opening it I found myself struggling to push any material out of the funnel, to the point I actually had to cut the funnel further back to help the mortar get out. Then another few minutes later my caulking gun became very difficult to use and ended up snapping under force, trapping my finger and almost breaking it. Not only have I wasted £5 on the relatively small amount of product I did get out, but now I have no caulking gun as the handle has snapped. Do not buy unless using an industrial piece of machinery to apply.

Only gets 4 stars as , reviewed by others it was extremely difficult to get the cement to come out using mastic gun.Used on a few small areas which were tough enough, but had to cut full end off to use on a larger gap that I found, fortunately used it all in one go.On a positive it went on well and has hardened up very quickly with a reasonable match to existing mortar

Easy to use, dried quickly enough. Highly recommend if it's not a big job.
