Essential Brickwork Maintenance
Understanding Brickwork Repointing
Brick repointing is the process of removing old, damaged mortar from between your bricks and replacing it with fresh, strong mortar. Over time, weather conditions cause the mortar between bricks to crack, crumble, and fall out. This leaves your walls exposed to rain, frost, and damp.
Our comprehensive repointing service includes:
- Complete removal of old, damaged mortar
- Careful cleaning of brick surfaces
- Professional colour and texture matching of new mortar
- Application of high-quality, weather-resistant mortar
- Full inspection and quality check of completed work
- Site cleanup and waste removal
Without proper repointing, water can get into your walls, causing serious problems like structural damage, damp issues, and expensive repairs. Regular repointing protects your investment and keeps your property in excellent condition.

When Should You Repoint Your Property?
Look out for these clear signs that your property needs repointing:
- Cracked or crumbling mortar between bricks
- Gaps where mortar has fallen out completely
- White staining on brick surfaces (efflorescence)
- Damp patches appearing on internal walls
- Loose or moving bricks
- Plants or weeds growing from mortar joints
- Previous repointing work that’s failing or looks poor quality
Timing matters for different property types:
- Victorian properties typically need repointing every 50-80 years
- Georgian and older buildings may need attention every 30-50 years
- Properties in exposed locations (coastal areas, hilltops) need more frequent maintenance
Don’t wait until problems become serious and expensive. Early repointing prevents major structural issues and saves you money in the long run.
