Repointing
Repointing that protects your walls and matches the original.
Repointing in Newcastle upon Tyne & across the North East, 38 years in business, fully insured, director-led.
The problem we solve
Why repointing is worth doing properly.
When mortar erodes, it does not just look untidy, it lets water into the wall, and in winter that water freezes and blows the face off the bricks. Once spalling starts, the damage accelerates and the repair gets a lot more expensive. Repointing at the right time protects the masonry and stops the cycle before you are replacing bricks as well as mortar.
Signs you may need this
- Mortar that is crumbling, powdery or washing out
- Gaps in the mortar joints, especially on weather facing walls
- Damp penetrating the wall or blown, spalling bricks
- Frost damage showing as cracked or missing brick faces
- An older property that has never been repointed
What's included
A complete, in-house scope.
Mortar is what keeps the weather out of your walls, and once it starts to crumble, damp and frost get in and do real damage, to the bricks, to the structure, and eventually to the inside of your home. Repointing renews that mortar, protecting the masonry and restoring its appearance. We assess what is needed, rake out the failed mortar, and repoint with a matching mortar mix so the wall is protected and the finish blends with the original, rather than standing out like a bad repair.
