Thanks Glenn, very informativne video.
I am in the south near London area, and always had trouble to match the yellowish white lime mortar of our Edwatdian house to the new. Rear part of the House gets most oft the bad weather battering in the year. And there is also some patches which had been done with cement which I would want to rake out. One small section of the house had been cemented using old bricks but laid with cement😬. Many bricks needs to be replaced but I don’t dear to replace the whole section of the wall. I can send you some picks, but I wanted also to ask
1. how can I get the right mix to match the colour?
2. Which lime mortar would you recommend? (I Think to use NHL, 2 or 3, 5)
3. What ratio mix? (3:1)
4. Where to get right sand? (Using from wicks sharp sand I get greyish colour), using from B&Q whitish, if I add builder sand it changes a colour to yellow drastically.
Your expertise would much appreciated. Thank you Denin.

Hi glen thanks for the videos, its given me the confidence to repoint my cottage . Im going to add some stone dust to my mix to get the right colour . Can this replace sand ? So i would have 2 sharp sand, 1 stone dust, 1 lime instead of 3 sharp and 1lime
Many thanks !!

I got sharp sand recently, large amount of agregate and almost black, strange. Have you ever seen this before?
