Importance of brickwork
Brickwork & Repointing
Damaged brickwork or eroded mortar joints can allow rainwater to enter your walls, leading to damp, decay, and insulation issues. Repointing involves removing worn-out mortar and replacing it with strong, weather-resistant material that restores the wall’s integrity. We match the new mortar to your existing brickwork for a clean, consistent look. This process strengthens external walls, blocks water ingress, and improves the property’s overall appearance. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to prevent penetrating damp and protect your home’s structure. With precise workmanship and quality materials, we ensure your brickwork stands strong against the elements for years.
Your property’s brickwork does far more than just look good — it’s a crucial part of the structure that protects against damp, heat loss, and long-term deterioration. Over time, bricks and mortar joints are exposed to harsh weather, frost, and movement, all of which can cause cracks, gaps, or crumbling mortar. These small defects may seem cosmetic at first, but they allow water to penetrate your walls, leading to internal damp patches, black mould, and even structural problems if left untreated.
We take a thorough and careful approach to brickwork restoration. Every job begins with a full inspection to locate weaknesses, worn mortar, or damaged bricks. From there, we carry out clean, professional repairs — whether it’s repointing old joints with fresh, weather-resistant mortar, replacing individual bricks, or sealing surfaces to prevent further water ingress. We always aim to match the existing look, keeping your property’s character intact. By restoring the integrity of your brickwork, we not only improve the appearance of your home, but also strengthen its long-term protection against the elements.
