While the exterior brickwork enhances the visual appeal of your property, it's not always easy to spot when repointing or replacement is needed. Repointing may initially seem like an aesthetic fix, but it plays a crucial role in preventing both cosmetic and structural damage. When mortar begins to deteriorate, it can lead to fundamental issues that require immediate attention. At the first sign of cracks, gaps, or damp spots, consider repairing or replacing the mortar to prevent extensive damage and costly future repairs.

Our brick repointing process involves meticulous attention to detail, ensuring the new mortar seamlessly matches the existing mortar in your property. Beyond color, we focus on matching the physical properties of the mortar, including hardness, texture, and permeability. The procedure begins by grinding out damaged mortar to approximately half an inch, followed by power-washing the bricks, and finally installing the new mortar. This comprehensive approach ensures not only a visual match but also maintains the structural integrity of your brickwork.
