BRICKWORK REPOINTING
Repointing is the process of removing damaged
or deteriorated mortar from the joints of the wall
and replacing it with appropriate new mortar.
The process requires the careful removal of old
mortar with a grinder or other suitable tool
followed by washing out the joints to remove all
dust. The new mortar is then applied using a
tool appropriate to the finished profile required.
Although it is not always possible to get a perfect
colour match with the original mortar, we try
very hard to get as close as we can.
Usually required to resolve damp problems or
sometimes purely for aesthetic reasons,
repointing will give walls a new lease of life and
provide a long term and cost effective means of
weatherproofing as well as smartening up and
adding value to a property.
We usually recommend that a silicone
waterproofing sealant is applied after the
repointing process to protect the brickwork. This
helps to provide extra protection against
weathering by preventing water penetration into
the brickwork.
