What is Repointing Brickwork?
Repointing brickwork involves carefully removing old, damaged mortar and replacing it with fresh, high-quality material. This process not only enhances the strength of your walls but also prevents moisture from penetrating and causing long-term damage. By maintaining the correct mortar consistency and matching the original aesthetic, we ensure your brickwork retains its original charm.

Yes. Damaged or badly deteriorated bricks can sometimes affect the appearance and performance of a wall, so we can assess the condition of the brickwork alongside the mortar joints. Where necessary, individual bricks may be repaired or replaced as part of the overall work, helping to create a more complete and consistent finish.
Signs that your brickwork may need repointing include crumbling or cracked mortar, visible gaps between bricks, loose sections and damp patches inside your property. If the mortar is becoming soft or powdery, it may no longer be protecting your brickwork effectively. A professional inspection can help identify the extent of the damage and whether localised or more extensive repointing is required.
