Full house repointing across Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. Old, cracked and crumbling mortar raked out and replaced with a matched mix, so the brick or stone sheds water again and the house looks cared for rather than tired.
Failed mortar cut back to a sound depth and replaced with a fresh, matched mix pressed in and finished neatly.
A mortar mix and joint finish matched to the existing wall so the repair blends in rather than standing out.
Both brick and the local stone found around Newark, Southwell and Lincoln repointed with the right materials.
Open joints closed up so wind-driven rain stops tracking into the wall and causing damp inside.
If the mortar is cracked, crumbling, receding or you can rake it out with a screwdriver, it has failed and is letting water in. We are happy to take a look and tell you whether it needs doing.
For anything above the ground floor, yes. Working off proper scaffold or a tower is safer and gives a better, more consistent finish than reaching off a ladder.
We work to match the mortar colour and joint finish to what is there. On older stone property around Southwell and Lincoln we use softer, more breathable mixes that suit the wall.
Good repointing lasts for decades. It is one of the best-value jobs you can do to keep an older house dry and sound and to smarten up its appearance.
