Removing mortar from brickwork is the process of removing the hardened mortar between bricks. It is often necessary when repairing or replacing damaged bricks, or when repointing the mortar joints. There are a few different methods for removing mortar from brickwork, depending on the condition of the mortar and the tools available.
One common method is to use a cold chisel and hammer. The chisel is placed against the mortar joint and struck with the hammer to break up the mortar. Another method is to use a grinder with a diamond blade. The grinder is used to cut through the mortar joint, being careful not to damage the bricks. A third method is to use a chemical mortar remover. The remover is applied to the mortar joint and allowed to sit for a period of time before being scraped off.
