The apparatus, particularly for pointing masonry or masonry/composite slips 2 (e.g., in a factory), comprises an outlet 6 for dispensing a bead of material along a joint, and a store 3 (e.g., hopper) of fluid material 4 raised above the dispensing location to deliver material via a fluid conduit 8 under gravity. The flow may be started and stopped, optionally at or about the outlet, by an arrangement such as a valve. There may be a controller (e.g., comprising a trigger) for opening and/or closing the valve. The conduit may include a flexible portion, optionally compressible to control flow. The conduit may taper along a majority of its length. The store may be on a raised support mounted on a floor, ceiling or roof, and may be movable on a carriage to follow a path of the operator. A robot may be used to position the outlet, start/stop flow and vary dimensions of the bead.
