Repointing Horwich terraces and post-war homes
Horwich has rows of railway-era terraces and post-war houses, and on both the mortar has a working life shorter than the brick. Joints that have gone soft or dropped out let rain into the wall, and over time that brings damp inside and frost damage outside.
Our repointing service renews the joints to a sound depth and finishes them to match the house. Terraces built with soft brick and lime are often better served by our lime pointing, which we will advise on when we see the wall.
Cracked or frost-blown bricks are replaced through our brickwork repairs service. For cracks rising from windows, the page about lintel repair in Horwich is the place to start.

Terraces built in rows, houses built after the war
Railway-era terraces share walls, stacks and sometimes a continuous front, so one house repointed in a bright new mortar can stand out against its neighbours. We match the mix and joint finish carefully so your front sits comfortably in the row. Rear walls, outriggers and yard walls often need more work than the front.
Post-war houses usually have a harder brick and a cement mortar. They tend to fail at the parapets, under sills and on the most exposed elevation rather than all over. That keeps many jobs to one or two walls, which we price separately.
Your joints may need renewing if
- Your front looks patchy next to the neighbours
- Mortar loose on a shared chimney
- Rear outrigger walls damp and green
- Joints soft under the window sills
- Brick faces blown on the weather side
- Yard wall joints falling out

Horwich repointing questions
How much is repointing in Horwich?
A standard terraced front starts from £1,850, the same for a terraced rear, and both together from £3,700. If the terrace needs lime, a front or rear starts from £2,312.50. Extra height, a chimney, outriggers with tricky access or lots of damaged brick move the price up, and your quote explains why.
Will my repointed front stand out from the rest of the row?
New mortar always looks fresh at first. We match the colour and joint finish to your neighbours as closely as we can, and it settles as it weathers.
We share a chimney stack with next door. Can you do just our side?
It is usually better to repoint the whole stack in one go, as it needs scaffold either way. We can quote for the whole stack so you and your neighbour can agree how to split it.
Is the rear outrigger part of the rear price?
The outrigger walls are priced alongside the rear, as they often need the most work. We list them on the quote so you can see what each part costs.
Do you repoint yard walls?
Yes. Yard and boundary walls can be repointed or, if they are leaning or cracked, rebuilt with our bricklaying service.
