Re-pointing
Our team specialise in removing cement mortar, recreating original natural hydraulic lime mortars and repointing using trusted, traditional methods.
Crucial to a structure’s strength, pointing is defined as the mortar ‘joint’ between bricks or stone blocks within a wall. However, over time mortar can erode or crumble, leaving a wall dangerously weak and unsightly, in many cases leading to internal damp issues.
When pointing brickwork and stonework we use breathable natural lime products. This also helps prevent damp and preserve the buildings fabric.
We carefully choose our lime, sand and aggregate to ensure compatibility with the existing mortars used on every individual building.
We take the time to identify how the previous builder pointed your wall. By doing this, we can create an identical match and replicate their technique.
Pointing services we provide are:
• Repointing brickwork
• Repointing stonework
• Sandstone repointing
• Lime repointing
• Terracotta repointing
• All types of re-capping
