Repointing that lasts
A repoint only lasts if the joints are raked out deep enough and filled properly. Skimming fresh mortar over old, loose joints just covers the problem for a season or two.
Our brick repointing cuts the joints back to sound mortar first, then fills them in layers. Older terraces can be repointed in lime through our lime pointing service if the brick is soft.
Cracks over windows belong on our page about lintel repair in Nuneaton, while loose or damaged bricks are covered by our brickwork repairs.

Terraces and post-war houses in Nuneaton
Brick terraces here have long front and rear walls that weather differently. The rear often has an outrigger or kitchen extension, with joints that see more water from downpipes and flat roofs. Those are usually the first walls to need attention.
Post-war houses generally used harder bricks and cement mortar. The joints there hold up for a long time, but when a previous repoint has been done thinly over loose mortar, it can lift away in sheets. We take that back to sound before repointing.

Repointing questions from Nuneaton
What does repointing a house in Nuneaton cost?
The front or rear of a standard terraced house starts from £1,850, rising to £3,700 for both. For a semi, each of those elevations begins at £2,450. Scaffold, height, chimneys and badly worn joints all take a job above those prices.
My last repoint is peeling off. Why?
Usually because the old joints were not raked out deeply enough, so the new mortar had nothing to grip. It needs to be cut out and done again properly.
Can you repoint a garden wall?
Yes. Garden walls get wet on both faces and often have no coping, so they wear quickly. We can repoint them or, if they lean, rebuild them through our bricklaying service.
Do you repoint kitchen extensions?
Yes. Extensions are often built in a different brick from the house, so we match the mortar to each wall rather than using one mix for everything.
How do I keep new pointing in good condition?
Keep gutters and downpipes clear and in good repair, since constant water is what wears joints fastest. Plants growing up the wall can also root into the mortar, so keep them trimmed.
