Pointing and Repointing
Over time, mortar joints on chimneys, ridge tiles, and brickwork degrade due to weathering, allowing moisture to penetrate your property. Our skilled tradespeople rake out decayed mortar and repoint joints with precision to reinforce your structure.
When You Need Pointing and Repointing
Crumbling or sandy mortar falling out from between bricks or tiles. Loose ridge tiles that wobble slightly when touched. Damp penetration around chimney breasts inside upper rooms. Visible gaps in mortar joints letting in wind and rain.
How We Do It
We inspect your brickwork, chimney stack, and ridge lines to assess the depth of mortar decay. We carefully rake out damaged mortar to a clean, stable depth without harming the surrounding bricks or tiles. We mix fresh mortar color-matched to your existing masonry for a seamless finish. We pack and finish the new mortar joints neatly, ensuring complete weatherproofing and structural stability.
What to Expect
Pointing and repointing work is usually completed within 1 to 2 days depending on the size of the chimney or wall area.
