What is Repointing Brickwork?

Repointing brickwork is the process of removing old mortar from between bricks or stones and replacing it with new mortar. Over time, weather, moisture, and age can weaken the existing mortar. This can lead to cracks and affect the strength and look of your walls.

When mortar is dry or crumbling, it can let water in and cause structural problems. Loose horizontal joints, worn vertical joints, and gaps between bricks are signs that you need repointing.

By carefully removing old mortar and preparing the right mix, we ensure a smooth application. Proper repointing restores stability and improves the look of your property.
