Brick Repointing in Preston & Lancashire
Restoring worn or crumbling mortar joints
Restoring worn or crumbling mortar joints
Repointing repairs the mortar joints between bricks, not the bricks themselves. Over time, mortar erodes, crumbles or falls out, letting water into the wall and weakening it. We rake out the damaged mortar and repoint with a matching mix, restoring both the weatherproofing and the appearance of the brickwork. If the bricks themselves are cracked or damaged rather than the mortar, see our brick repairs page instead.
Eroded, crumbling or missing mortar raked out and repointed to stop water getting into the wall.
Mortar colour and mix matched to the existing brickwork wherever possible, for a consistent finish.
Properly repointed brickwork keeps water out and prevents the frost damage that follows once mortar has failed.

We match the mortar mix and colour to the existing pointing as closely as possible for a consistent finish.
