Tuck pointing on The Elms, 18th Century house in Acton
This is the south wall of The Elms, which is the administrative building of Twyford Church of England High School. Tuck pointing is a decorative white ribbon applied over hand-made irregular bricks to give a neat and uniform appearance. Dr Gerard Lynch in a long description on the Brickmaster website http://www.brickmaster.co.uk/tukcpointing.htm tells us it is: "a highly skilled and refined method of pointing brickwork whereby the overall mortar joint is coloured to match the brick and grooved while still 'green' to receive a carefully placed lime-putty : silver sand joint, which is then carefully trimmed to form a precise ribbon-like profile. Its intention, in England, was to create an illusion of gauged ashlared brickwork on walling constructed of standard, often irregular, handmade bricks."
