Breathable Brick Weatherproofing

Weatherproofing can help suitable brickwork resist driving rain while still allowing the wall to breathe.

Weatherproofing can help suitable brickwork resist driving rain while still allowing the wall to breathe. Abbey Repointing Ltd offers breathable masonry weatherproofing, including Stormdry Masonry Cream where appropriate, after repointing has cured for the correct amount of time.

This is especially useful on exposed gable walls, chimneys, older brickwork and walls that take heavy weather, but it must be used sensibly and only after the wall has been properly assessed.

Why Abbey Repointing

Honest work on every job

We do not sell weatherproofing as a magic fix for every damp problem. The wall still needs proper pointing, sound brickwork and sensible moisture management. Used correctly, breathable weatherproofing can be a strong finishing layer after repointing.

Common questions

Quick answers — or just WhatsApp us and ask.

Does weatherproofing fix damp?

Not on its own. The wall still needs sound brickwork and proper pointing. Breathable weatherproofing is a finishing layer for suitable walls after repointing — not a cure for an underlying problem.

Is it the same as painting the wall?

No. We use breathable masonry protection such as Stormdry where appropriate, which lets the wall breathe rather than sealing it like a film of paint.
