Carriage to most parts of Europe before BREXIT usually took about 2 days. Unfortunately it now takes about a week. Suitable for extremely fast self compacting aplication, with no delays or waiting (or additional costs!), even in continuously wet weather and at colder temperatures. This is because as the material can be applied in the rain - and in cold (non-freezing) conditions it can still be applied and will continue to cure when temperatures increase above 8-10 degrees C. The smaller the better - avoid heavy duty drills, such as hammer or SDS types. A slim-body rotary drill should weigh less than 2 kg.

Since 1983; The Gun-point system has been used across the UK by selected teams of operatives to offer industry leading efficient, clean, quality repointing to individuals and organisations alike. As well as our Professional Repointing services, the teams at Gun-point are also qualified to: About Quikpoint TURBO - the significant change when compared to the previous PLUS specification is the new TURBO auger, manufactured in steel and hardened after assembly. It features a reducing diameter spiral which now extends into the delivery nozzle. Field tests have shown improved mortar delivery rate along with the ability to process stiffer and more gritty mixes. Quikpoint will hold more mortar than the typical mastic gun - typically 2L-3L - so fewer stops to refill. The tool is sold wherever there is pointing to be done: virtually all countries in Europe, the USA and Canada, Australia, New Zealand. We have even sold to China and Japan!We supply more than 60% of Quikpoints as attachments (without a drill) and rarely get queries regarding drill suitability. But we are available to advise and assist if required. Repointing is one of the jobs that most builders prefer not to do - it is, after all; a slow and messy job that offers little pleasure! Indeed; you may have been given our details by one of these skilled tradespeople. Mastic guns are prone to mix separation and clogging, especially with self-mixes - not a problem with the auger-fed Quikpoint. To maintain the integrity and weatherproofing of a structure, it is important that mortar joints are of sufficient depth, have no hidden voids and are adequately compressed and sealed. The Quikpoint Mortar Pointing Gun is a convenient and effective joint filling system, used by Masonry and Pointing Contractors yet suitable for less skilled operatives and competent DIYers. The Quikpoint Pointing Gun is consistently faster than trowel filling and more likely to achieve full joint penetration. It is physically less demanding than hand-held pointing guns (also known as caulking or mastic guns) which rely on hand-generated pressure and hence are prone to causing Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI).

It is physically less demanding than hand-held pointing guns (also known as caulking or mastic guns) which rely on hand-generated pressure and hence are prone to causing Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI).All of our teams are employed directly by us and are headed by time served leaders with a combined experience of nearly 60 years using the Gun-point system. With quality and service at the forefront of their work. Development of the Gun-point system was completed in the 1980s to give a clean, efficient and reliable solution - that could be guaranteed. Quikpoint permits fast and consistent joint filling to realistic depths across a range of joint widths, with little effort. Battery drills - a corded mains drill will always deliver better performance but there are numerous instances of battery drills being attached to Quikpoints. Handy for restricted or challenging jobs such as repointing chimneys. Handheld pointing guns are a popular alternative to repointing with a mortar hawk and trowel. They are relatively low cost, lightweight and require no power (other than a strong wrist). So, what’s better about the Quikpoint approach?

lime (hydraulic ) mortars, cement mortars with local sand all work well with the Pnu-Point. Expensive bagged mortars are not required. vdw 850 is a particularly high performance and extremely durable, self compacting, epoxy bound paving jointing mortar for pedestrian, light and medium vehicular traffic loads, including larger vehicles and mechanical road sweepers, pressure water jetting etc, etc.A few seconds with the Quikpoint scoop vs unscrewing and withdrawing plunger, filling narrow tube, refitting plunger etc.
