The useful first step

Repointing treats the joints, not unrelated movement

Send photographs showing the complete wall and close views of the mortar. Cracking, bulging or other movement may need a different review before repointing is specified.

What this service covers

Repointing for walls, gables and chimney masonry

The process and finish depend on the wall age, brick condition, exposure and existing mortar.

01

Wall repointing

Renewing weathered joints across larger wall areas and exposed gables.

02

Local joint repairs

Targeted work where deterioration is limited and the surrounding mortar remains serviceable.

03

Chimney repointing

Renewing joints on exposed stacks, often alongside brick, flaunching or leadwork repairs.

04

Mortar and finish selection

Choosing a compatible repair approach and a joint profile suited to the existing masonry.

05

Preparation and clean-down

Removing loose material carefully and cleaning the finished work without unnecessarily damaging the brick faces.

06

Associated brick replacement

Replacing isolated failed bricks where repointing alone would not restore the wall.

Helpful details to include
  • Property postcode
  • Safe photographs
  • Preferred timing
  • The result you want
A sensible first check

When repointing may be appropriate

The mortar should be assessed alongside the bricks and the wider stability of the wall.

  • Mortar is powdery, recessed, cracked or falling from the joints
  • Water is penetrating through exposed joints or around a chimney
  • Previous hard or untidy patch repairs are failing
  • The wall appearance is uneven because large areas of mortar are eroded
  • Individual bricks are sound but the joints no longer protect their edges

Questions about repointing

What customers usually ask.

How do I know whether the wall needs repointing?

Common signs include recessed, loose, cracked or powdery mortar and damp associated with exposed joints. A close review is needed to separate mortar deterioration from movement or brick failure.

Can only the worst areas be repointed?

Local repairs may be possible when deterioration is limited. On a heavily weathered elevation, broader repointing can produce a more consistent and durable result.

Will the new mortar match the old wall?

The aim is a compatible and visually considered finish. Fresh mortar may initially look different and then weather over time. Exact colour matching cannot always be guaranteed.

Can damaged bricks be replaced during repointing?

Yes, isolated brick replacement can be included where the bricks themselves are no longer serviceable.
