Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ
What is brickwork pointing?
Brickwork pointing is the process of filling or replacing the mortar joints between bricks. It helps seal the wall against weather, reinforces its structure, and improves its appearance.
Why is brickwork pointing important?
Pointing prevents water from penetrating brickwork, which can cause damp, frost damage, and long-term structural problems. It also keeps your property looking clean, neat, and well-maintained.
How do I know if my brickwork needs repointing?
Common signs include:
-
Crumbling or missing mortar
-
Gaps between bricks
-
Damp patches on interior walls
-
Loose or moving bricks
-
Growth of moss or weeds in joints
What materials are used for pointing?
The two most common types are cement mortar and lime mortar. Cement is modern, durable, and cost-effective. Lime is breathable and better suited to older, heritage buildings. The choice depends on the age and type of your brickwork.
How long does brick pointing last?
Properly done pointing can last 30–50 years, depending on weather exposure and material used. Lime mortar may require more frequent maintenance in exposed areas but offers better breathability.
Can I repoint a wall without replacing the bricks?
Yes — repointing focuses solely on the mortar joints. As long as the bricks are sound, they don’t need to be replaced.
Is repointing covered by homeowners insurance?
Not usually. Most policies won’t cover general wear and tear or deterioration over time. However, damage caused by storms or sudden accidents might be included. Always check your policy wording.
Can I repoint my own brickwork?
You can, but it’s labour-intensive and requires the right tools, technique, and mortar mix. Poor DIY pointing can lead to further issues. Hiring a professional ensures a clean finish and long-lasting result.
Should I use lime mortar for older properties?
Yes — lime mortar is breathable and flexible, which suits traditional brickwork. It allows moisture to escape, reducing the risk of trapped damp and damage.
How much does it cost to repoint brickwork?
Costs vary based on the wall size, condition, and access. Repointing a typical semi-detached house might range from £1,500 to £3,500, while small wall sections could cost a few hundred pounds. Always get a detailed, written quote.
