Bucket handle pointing will be fine and also help even up any discrepancy with regards to gaps.
Also with regards to what @Vesalius said I'd wondered about the colour but assumed that it was some kind of mortar dye. If it's lime pointing then you need to ensure they have a proper strategy to protect it from frost.

Cheers, I'll quiz them on what pointing they're using tomorrow.
Edit: spoke to the next man up and the gaffer, who both seemed much more clued up and sympathetic to my concerns. Their argument was they use a 10mm all over to get consistency (although I'm sure it also has a lot to do with time saving) and to be fair, there are some gaps much bigger than 10mm due to movement, so hopefully it'll even those out, visually. He'll be doing bucket handle pointing so it should look neat in the end hopefully.
