Masonry Repointing
Repointing restores the integrity and appearance of brickwork.
Masonry repointing involves renewing the external part of mortar joints in brick or stone walls. Over time, weathering and decay can cause gaps, leading to water ingress and structural issues.
Our masonry experts carefully remove damaged mortar and replace it with new material that matches the original in both color and composition. This not only restores structural integrity but also the appearance of your chimney or brickwork.
Regular repointing preserves the life of your masonry and protects against more serious, costly damage.
