Repointing Brickwork
No matter how well your house or building was constructed, time will eventually take its toll. When it comes to brickwork, the first casualty of time and elements is the mortar in your brick joints.
When your mortar weakens, it can compromise the strength and integrity of your entire wall. When that happens, immediate, remedial action must be taken to stop the situation getting worse.
Natural weathering can decay the mortar between your bricks, potentially causing crumbling and rising damp. Repointing is the intricate process of removing decayed mortar and carefully injecting a matching mortar whilst maintaining the original joint profile. Joints are restored using specially formulated pointing mortar. This greatly improves the appearance and resilience of your building.

If you discover crumbling or fretting mortar in your walls, do not ignore it! Even the smallest amount of mortar rot can allow water to get in and that will cause all kinds of problems. The next time you’re outside your house, take a look at your external brickwork and check for signs of fretting mortar. A simple check now could save you a lot of money in the long run.
Brick repointing is the process of removing the old mortar and replacing it with new. As you can imagine, replacing the mortar in standing wall is not a trivial task, and requires a high degree of proficiency, expertise and experience to ensure the job is done correctly.
