Pointing & Re-Pointing Dartford

The mortar matters as much as the brick

Mortar joints take the brunt of the weather over the years, and once they start crumbling or washing away, the wall behind them is left exposed to water ingress and frost damage. Pointing and re-pointing renews those joints, restoring both the wall's structural integrity and its appearance.

What's the difference?

• Pointing — applying new mortar to joints, typically on new work or where none has failed yet
• Re-pointing — removing damaged or eroded mortar and replacing it, matched to the existing colour and texture
• Flush, recessed or weather-struck finishing styles available
• Careful colour and texture matching so repairs blend into the original brickwork

Why it's worth doing properly

Re-pointing is a delicate job — get the mortar mix or the finish wrong and it stands out against the original work for years afterwards. We take the time to match it properly rather than just filling the gap.
