What is Brick Repointing? Why is it important in london?
Brick repointing is an essential process to restore the mortar joints between bricks that may have worn down or cracked over time. This brick repair technique not only improves the appearance of your brickwork but also prevents water from entering the structure, which could lead to further irrepairable damage.
In London, many homes, especially heritage properties require specialized repointing techniques such as lime mortar repointing for older brickwork or cement-based mortar for modern structures.
Our team employs the most suitable methods for each type of property to ensure the longevity of the restoration. Repointing is especially vital for listed buildings, as it helps preserve their historical value. and ensures the compliance with modern building standards.
Techniques We Use for Brick Repointing London
We use several different techniques for brick repointing in London, each designed to suit the needs of your property. Some are listed below.
For more details, check out our dedicated pages on brick cleaning and brick restoration.
Lime Mortar Repointing:
Ideal for older buildings, lime mortar is comparatively flexible, allows the structure to breathe and prevents the buildup of moisture behind the walls.
This repointing technique is suitable for you if you need the repointing services for Victorian, Georgian, or other period homes.
Cement-Based Mortar Repointing:
For newer homes and commercial buildings, we use cement-based mortar, which provides a stronger, more durable finish and is better suited to modern construction materials.
It is more rigid in comparison to lime mortar and is not a good match for older buildings.

Deep Joint Repointing:
In case of deep damage, deep joint repointing is necessary, which involves raking out damaged mortar (upto 40 mm or more) and replacing with a new suitable mortar. This provides a more secure bond between bricks.
Fine Repointing:
For more of intricate brick designs or detailed brickwork, we specialize in fine repointing, which ensures precision and care for decorative features.
Weather-Struck & Flush Finishes:
For aesthetic purposes, we also offer weather-struck finishes, which are commonly used for traditional brickwork.
Flush finishes are more modern and provide a smooth, clean look for newer properties.
Weather struck finishes have more of pointy ends with joints slightly inward whereas in flush finishes the surface of bricks and joints are inline giving a more smoother finish.

The Brick Repointing London Process
Our approach to brick repointing in London is thorough and according to the needs of your property. Not always, but below is pretty much the normal process of our repointing services.
For additional services, be sure to visit our brick cleaning page and brick repairs page.
Inspection and Evaluation:
We begin by assessing the current condition of your brickwork to identify the extent of damaged mortar joints that require immediate attention.
We’ll also evaluate the overall structure, suggest you the most suitable method and recommend any necessary repairs.
Preparation and Cleaning:
Before applying fresh mortar, it is important that we clean the existing mortar joints and the surrounding brickwork.
This means we rake out old mortar, remove any dirt, and debris, to make sure the new mortar adheres properly for lasting results.
Repointing Application:
Depending on your property’s needs, we would suggest you to use traditional lime mortar for heritage buildings and cement-based mortar for modern structures.
Our skilled stonemasons ensure that the mortar is applied smoothly and evenly, using the preferred appropriate technique, either flush finish or weather-struck finish.
Final Inspection and Curing:
Once the repointing is complete, and we have a green signal from your side, we perform a final inspection to ensure everything is perfect.
The new mortar is then allowed to cure, providing long-lasting protection for your brickwork.
