Wall Pointing Experts
Chimney Pointing
Chimneys are exposed to rain, frost, wind, and changing temperatures throughout the year. Over time, the mortar between bricks can become cracked, loose, or weathered. We provide chimney pointing to repair deteriorated mortar and help protect the masonry from further weather damage.
Where required, pointing can also be completed alongside chimney repairs, leadwork and associated roofing work.

Masonry can become damaged through weathering, impact, age, and general deterioration. Problems may include cracked bricks, loose sections, damaged mortar, and areas where previous repairs have failed. We can assess damaged brickwork and masonry and recommend suitable remedial work. Depending on the condition, this may include localised repairs, repointing or replacement of damaged sections.
Masonry Specialists
Wall Pointing
Damaged or deteriorated mortar can affect the appearance and condition of external walls. Cracked joints can also allow water to penetrate the masonry, potentially contributing to damp and further deterioration. Our team removes unsuitable or damaged mortar before applying suitable new pointing. We take care to create a neat finish that complements the existing brickwork and appearance of the property.
Removing Damaged Mortar
Effective repointing starts with removing deteriorated mortar carefully. Simply applying new mortar over damaged joints may not provide a lasting solution. Our team removes unsuitable mortar from affected joints before preparing the areas for new pointing. We aim to conduct the work carefully to protect the surrounding brickwork and achieve a consistent finish.

Suitable Pointing for Older Properties
Older and traditional properties may require particular care when masonry repairs are conducted. Existing brickwork, mortar, and construction methods can differ from those used on modern buildings. We can assess the condition and appearance of the existing masonry before discussing suitable pointing and repair options. Our aim is to maintain the character of the property while improving protection against the weather.
Weather Protection & Property Maintenance
Well-maintained mortar joints help protect brickwork from rain and other weather exposure. When mortar becomes damaged or missing, water can reach areas that would otherwise remain protected. Regular maintenance and timely pointing repairs can help reduce further deterioration and maintain the condition of external walls, chimneys, and other masonry.
