Masonry Repointing

Masonry repointing restores the look and stability of your chimney’s brickwork.


Over time, mortar between bricks can erode, leading to water infiltration and structural weakness. Repointing involves removing damaged mortar and replacing it with new, durable material.

Proper repointing not only enhances the appearance of your chimney but also prevents further structural damage and ensures longevity.

Our professional repointing services use high-quality materials that blend seamlessly with existing brickwork.

On the day

  1. Inspection of the chimney to assess mortar damage
  2. Careful removal of damaged mortar from joints
  3. Application of new carefully matched mortar
  4. Final inspection to ensure uniformity and stability
