Stone repointing
Should the new mortar be harder than the stone?
An overly hard mix can damage softer stone or affect moisture movement. Mortar needs to work with the masonry.

Stone repointing — planning the work
For stone repointing, stone type, movement and exposure affect the approach. Matching and detailing should be considered alongside the cause of deterioration before repair materials are chosen.
