Explanation:

  1. Pointing is the process of finishing and repairing the joints in masonry (like brick or stone walls) by applying mortar to the exposed faces of joints.
  2. It is done after raking out old or damaged mortar to a certain depth and then filling it with fresh mortar to improve both appearance and durability.

  3. It is typically carried out in exposed masonry walls where the joints are visible and form part of the wall's aesthetic and structural finish.

 Additional Information

  1. Stucco walls: These are already coated with a thick plaster layer; joints are not visible.

  2. Plastered masonry walls: The plaster covers all joints, so pointing is not needed.

  3. Wattle and daub walls: These use a wooden lattice and mud; no brick joints to point.
