repointing stonework

[chocccie]

I have a small amount of indoor stonework that needs to be repointed (there are some comically mouse-shaped holes in it .. you can almost see the ears!!).

What do I need to use to repoint it please?  And where can I get it?   

 

Thanks

Hi

Tradifarge ( Chaux/ Lime) and sand.

Mix 1 lime with 3 sand add water to a consistency that will sit nicely

on the trowel without running away.

good luck

Hi - If you are matching up to existing pointing you may find that is is coloured - at my Point ? (builders merchant) they had a colour chart which they allowed me to borrow- and the local that I spoke to when admiring his pointing told me 2 of white sand to 1 of Coloured Chaux - mixed very dry - push in and sweep back as drying - stiff brush
