What is repointing?
Repointing is the process of repairing and replacing aged mortar in brick and stonework.
Our repointing and mortar repair craftsmanship ensures that repairs blend seamlessly with the existing brickwork and stonework with mortar that is carefully colour matched and mixed to suit.
What causes brick and stonework to degrade?
Brick and stonework are generally tough and long-lasting building materials, but old age can eventually degrade even the toughest materials. There are also a number of factors that can influence the longevity of brick and stonework, including:
Prolonged exposure to wind and rain that can cause rising damp
Excessive salt from living close to the ocean or rivers
Using mortar that is the wrong strength or consistency
Signs of damp or wetness Signs of moisture on the walls or floor are a likely indication of water penetrating through damaged mortar (See Rising Damp & Waterproofing for more on how we can help)
Loose bricks Any loose bricks or stones can allow water to penetrate, which can lead to rising damp and structural damage
Loose or missing mortar The surest sign that brick or stonework requires repointing, loose, cracked or missing mortar requires repair to ensure the structural integrity of a wall or chimney.
