The town square in Wetherby, West Yorkshire has undergone a major transformation following a £500,000 hard landscaping project. The contractors needed large quantities of bedding mortar 'on tap' for the scheme and opted for silo delivery of EasiPoint Fine Bedding Concrete. This is said to have have ensured a ready supply of bedding mortar, which could be mixed consistently and delivered by a single operative. Using the system, which delivered ready-to-use mortar compliant with BS7533, helped to ensure the six month project was kept on track.

Pumpable natural hydraulic lime mortar from Easipoint provided the finish required for the restoration of walls surrounding Clithroe Castle in Lancashire's Ribble Valley. The mortar met the need for a traditional lime-based material and offered the advantage of gun-injection, which enabled the contractors to fill substantial voids in the stonework and joints up to 25mm wide. The walls, believed to date back to the 15th Century, had become overgrown with ivy, which was removed to reveal significant deterioration of the existing mortar. The repointing work is part of the first phase of improvements including paving and night-time illumination of the castle.

Having been saved from demolition, a Victorian building is being repointed using a gun-injected mortar from Easipoint. The building is now being changed into 14 apartments, as well as a bistro bar, in a new development project. The company was specifed as the mortar cut down the timespan for external refurbishment and achieved a clean finish to complement the architectural details of the buildings. The contractors had to rake out the existing mortar to a depth of 15mm and replaced it with the gun-injected mortar in Natural colour. In all 700m of brickwork, featuring smooth red enginnering bricks and terracotta architectural detailing, were replaced using 200 bags of Easipoint over the length of 10 weeks of repointing work. The repointing achieved the effect of restoring the building near to its original condition.

As they are factory blended the mortars also achieve consistency in both colour and finish. The mortars can be gun injected to a depth of 50mm and fill the joint from the back, ensuring a complete voidfree fill.

Gun-injected mortars from Easipoint have provided the colour and performance required for a new gallery built in the historic, listed landscape of Yorkshire Sculpture Park. The Underground gallery is the latest addition to the sculpture park which is set in 500 acres of landscaped grounds of the Bretton Estate, West Bretton, near Wakefield. In order to comply with listed building consent some 300m² of locally quarried natural stone slabs which lwad to the new gallery and also form internal flooring were specified. To meet the need for a mortar that was easy to apply in narrow gaps, nominally 5mm, and provide a colour that would complement the stone paving, a special blend of Easipoint?s standard Sandstone and White mortars were purpose made for the contract. The company claims that through the use of its mortar the pointing sub-contractors were able to form hard-wearing mortar joints cleanly and quickly by gun injection through a special narrow constrictor.
