What is Brick Repointing?
Brick repointing, also known as brick pointing, mortar pointing or brickwork pointing, is the process of repairing and replacing deteriorated mortar joints between bricks. Over time, exposure to the unpredictable UK weather causes mortar to erode, crack, and crumble. This doesn't just look untidy; it creates pathways for water to penetrate your walls, leading to expensive issues like damp, wood rot, and structural instability.
For homeowners, professional house repointing is a critical line of defence against frequent rainfall, damp and water penetration. By removing the old, failing mortar and replacing it with high-quality, professionally applied materials, we restore the waterproof seal of your home. Whether your property requires traditional lime mortar for a period finish or modern cement-based mortar for strength, getting it right is vital for the longevity of your masonry. We can also provide lime mortar pointing and stone pointing for suitable period, heritage and traditional properties.
Typically, brickwork pointing lasts between 30 to 50 years, depending on the exposure and the quality of the original work. However, localized repairs may be needed sooner. Investing in professional repointing not only protects your home's structure but also significantly boosts its curb appeal and market value, making it one of the most cost-effective home improvements you can undertake.
