Professional brick repointing service to restore weatherproofing and structural integrity. We remove deteriorated mortar and repoint brickwork using appropriate mortar mixes matched to your wall type and age.
Deteriorated mortar joints allow water penetration leading to damp, frost damage, and structural problems. Our repointing service removes failed mortar and replaces it properly to restore weatherproofing and extend wall life.
We use correct mortar mixes for your brickwork age and type. Modern cement-heavy mortars damage older bricks, so we match mortar strength to brick strength. Joints are finished to match the original style.

Good to Know
Repointing needs dry weather and temperatures above 5°C. New mortar looks different initially but weathers to match. If bricks are soft or damaged, they may need treating or replacing before repointing. Proper repointing should last 50-100 years.
