Why Abbey Repointing

Honest work on every job

We understand that lintels, sills, bricks and pointing all work together. Replacing one part without looking at the surrounding brickwork can leave the job unfinished. Abbey Repointing Ltd focuses on a practical repair that looks right and helps protect the opening.

Common questions

Quick answers — or just WhatsApp us and ask.

Do you repair the brickwork around the window too?

Yes. Lintels, sills, bricks and pointing all work together, so we replace damaged bricks around the opening and repoint so the repair blends in.

Why is water staining showing below my window?

It often means the sill is cracked or shedding water back into the wall. Send photos of the full window and close-ups of the sill and we will advise.

Not sure what your wall needs?

WhatsApp photos of the full window, the cracks and close-ups of the sill or lintel area for advice.
