London & South East Brick Repointing

Preserve and strengthen your brickwork

Brick repointing is a crucial maintenance process that involves renewing the external part of mortar joints in brickwork.
Over time, weathering and decay can cause voids in the joints between bricks, leading to water ingress, structural instability, and a decline in the aesthetic appeal of your property. Our professional repointing services ensure your brickwork remains strong, durable, and visually appealing.

The importance brick repointing

Structural Integrity

Damaged or deteriorating mortar can compromise the structural integrity of your brickwork. Repointing restores the strength of the masonry, preventing further damage and ensuring the safety and stability of your building.

Weatherproofing

Properly filled mortar joints act as a barrier against moisture, protecting your brickwork from water damage, frost, and other environmental factors. Repointing helps maintain this critical defense, extending the life of your bricks.

Aesthetic Enhancement

Cracked or missing mortar joints can detract from the appearance of your property. Repointing revitalises your brickwork, enhancing the overall look.. This is especially important for heritage or period properties, where maintaining historical accuracy is key.

Brick Repointing FAQs

Can repointing be done in any weather conditions?
Repointing is best performed in mild, dry weather to ensure the new mortar sets properly. Extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, as well as wet conditions, can affect the mortar's curing process. We schedule repointing work during optimal weather conditions to guarantee the best results.
How do I know if my brickwork needs repointing?
Signs that your brickwork may need repointing include visible cracks in the mortar joints, loose or crumbling mortar, damp or damaged interior walls, and gaps between bricks. If you notice any of these issues, it's best to have a professional inspect your brickwork to determine if repointing is necessary.
How often should brick repointing be done?
The frequency of repointing depends on various factors, including the type of mortar used, the age of the building, and exposure to weather conditions. Generally, brickwork may need repointing every 20 to 30 years. However, regular inspections can help identify the need for repointing before significant damage occurs.
What type of mortar is used in repointing?
We use mortar that matches the original in composition, colour, and texture to ensure a seamless blend with the existing brickwork. For historic or period properties, we use traditional lime mortars that are appropriate for the age and style of the building, ensuring both durability and historical accuracy.
Will repointing change the appearance of my brickwork?
When done professionally, repointing enhances the appearance of your brickwork by filling gaps and cracks with mortar that closely matches the original. This process restores the uniformity and beauty of the brickwork, often making it look as good as new without altering its character.
How long does the repointing process take?
The duration of the repointing process depends on the size of the project and the extent of the damage. After an initial assessment, we provide a detailed timeline tailored to your specific needs. Our team works efficiently to minimise disruption while ensuring the highest quality workmanship.
