Yes, something to deflect oily/greasy stuff - cheers...
-
Hmm, you (and helpful others) have helped solidify what would look best, so thanks for that. Just need to make up my own mind whether I like a shallow (brush) or recessed (chariot) finish ?. Might be worth doing samples of each around the corner where it will be behind a cabinet and seeing which is personally preferable.
-
Yes, that is on the cards @Ferdinand. Not sure what I’m going to put on it yet, but I know clear brick sealer of some sort exists. Thanks for making sure this wasn’t missed.
-
Appreciate the feedback @Mr Punter, does recessed work as a style with uneven bricks or is it more intended for modern, evenly sized bricks?
-
I like it, saves me buying a chariot and negotiating around all the odd shaped bricks as a bonus. I like the idea of recessed, but all the odd shaped bricks make me wonder if it works work or not. Thanks for taking the time to lend me your experience @Declan52, appreciate it.

Yes, I get 60 minutes. That’s looks nice, so the brushing kind of recesses it a bit and the sponging smoothes out the brush marks - is that the idea?
-
This is inside the house so weatherproofing is not an issue, see pic. Is it correct that recessed highlights the bricks more than bucket?
-
Cheers ?
-
Unfortunately no, good idea though... did you have any trouble with the irregular shape of them?
-
I don’t think I’m good enough to do that ?. If you had to choose between bucket or recessed, which would you recommend?
-
That actually covers another query I had thanks Declan52, how best to finish it? How do you reliably tell when it’s near set? Just poke a test bit you have set aside from the mix?
-
Yes, I am, just not sure which pointing style to go for...what do you think would work/look best? I’ve heard recessed highlights the bricks more?
-
The brick slips are 20mm thick and would do a 5mm recess, other companies sell 15mm brick slips so there should still be enough...?
-
Thanks for responding, this is a feature wall as part of the living/kitchen/dining area - so it will be real up-and-close as the island is about 1m from it...

Hi everyone, just seeking advice on what pointing style would be best suited to Olde Water Mill style brick slips? They’re quite irregularly shaped, see pics... I’m thinking of either recessed or bucket, leaning towards recessed, but have read that is best suited to more modern sharper shaped bricks???
