Pointing Brickwork

Posted by Sean Butler on May 30th, 2019

Brick is one of the most popular building materials available in the market today. It has a very distinctive appearance that gives a property a rustic look. However, brick only looks great if it is maintained well. If the surface has a seamless appearance and is sealed well, brick structures will look good and last for a long time. While brick walls are resilient, they do need some attention and care over time. You need to pay special attention to the joints and mortar as they keep the structure intact. We offer expert brick repairs in London and will make sure your building is in good shape.

What is Brick Pointing?

Brick walls have the ability to last for over a hundred years. The individual bricks are baked, sealed, and resilient, which means they can withstand all kinds of conditions well. The most vulnerable aspects of these walls are the mortar between the bricks. This material doesn't last for over 100 years and must be replaced to ensure the wall is structurally sound.

This process of replacing the mortar or cement is called pointing or repointing. As a company with over 50 years of experience in brick pointing, we understand the process well. Our team is meticulous and careful to ensure the original beauty of the wall is preserved during the repair process. We test the original mortar material carefully before the project to ensure we use the right one for our new project.

Our goal is to make sure the brick wall lasts for a long time and the mortar stays in place. We use the best quality materials and proven techniques for the process.
