Repointing gives your brickwork new life. By replacing deteriorated mortar, we stop water from seeping in and causing structural issues. Our team works with precision to remove damaged mortar and apply new, carefully matched material that blends in seamlessly. The result? Your brickwork looks clean, sharp, and ready to face the weather for decades.
OUR PROCESS
- INSPECTION & MORTAR REMOVAL
We begin by inspecting your brickwork to identify damaged or weakened mortar joints. Once we’ve mapped out the areas needing attention, we carefully remove the old, crumbling mortar using hand tools or grinders. This is done with precision to avoid harming the surrounding bricks. Removing the failing mortar allows us to create clean, strong joints that will securely hold the new mortar in place.
- APPLYING MORTAR & REPOINTING
Next, we prepare and apply fresh mortar that matches the original in colour, texture, and composition. This ensures a seamless look that blends with your existing brickwork. The new mortar is packed tightly into the joints, restoring structural integrity and protecting against water damage. We work carefully to fill every gap, ensuring durability and a clean, uniform finish that improves both strength and appearance.
- FINISHING & CLEAN-UP
Once the mortar has set slightly, we tool the joints for a neat, consistent appearance that enhances the brickwork’s overall look. We then clean the brick surfaces to remove any mortar residue or dust, leaving your walls looking refreshed and well-maintained. Finally, we do a thorough check to ensure the work meets our high standards, giving you masonry that’s built to last.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What’s the difference between tuckpointing and repointing?
Repointing replaces damaged mortar to strengthen the wall, while tuckpointing involves repointing plus adding a fine line of contrasting mortar for a decorative finish. Both improve structure, but tuckpointing focuses more on appearance.
