Our Repointing
We offer a professional repointing service using traditional and modern methods. We restore failing mortar to protect brickwork from water damage and preserve the character of period properties. We work on all period properties, such as Victorian, Edwardian, Georgian, interwar homes, mid-century, modern, and contemporary homes. With our 4th and 5th generation builders, we are specialists in this area and take great pride in what we do.
Repointing is important because failed mortar joints allow water into the wall and, over time, this can cause damp, internal damage, movement, frost damage, and deterioration of the brick faces themselves.
The types of repointing we offer are: lime repointing, cement repointing, chimney repointing, garden wall repointing, ridge tile repointing, heritage & period property repointing, and full brick restoration.
The brick bonds we repair are: Flemish bond, English bond, Stretcher bond, English garden wall bond, Monk bond, and Stack bond.
Traditional pointing styles we offer:
Flush pointing: Mortar finished level with the brick face.
Weather-struck pointing: Sloped finish helping to shed rainwater.
Recessed pointing: Mortar set back from the brick face.
Tuck pointing: Traditional decorative finish often used on period properties.
Lime pointing: Breathable and suitable for older buildings.
Some signs your property needs repointing:
- Crumbling or missing mortar
- Cracks between brick joints
- Damp patches internally
- Loose bricks
- White staining (efflorescence)
- Water penetration
- Frost damage
- Vegetation growing in joints
- Draughts around walls
Our Painting & Decorating-Led Renovations
We give homes a complete refresh through professional decorating, interior improvements, and renovation works. From a single room makeover to full property transformations, we create clean, modern looks and refreshed spaces.
