Masonry Repointing

Preserve your chimney's structure with repointing services.


Masonry repointing involves replacing the mortar between bricks to maintain structural integrity. Over time, weathering can cause mortar to weaken or crumble.

Our repointing service addresses these issues by carefully removing old mortar and applying new material, restoring the chimney’s strength and appearance.

Repointing is essential not only for aesthetics but also for preventing water infiltration and further damage to your chimney.

On the day

  1. Assess the condition of the existing masonry and mortar.
  2. Carefully remove damaged mortar without harming bricks.
  3. Apply new mortar matching the existing appearance.
  4. Inspect the completed work to ensure structural integrity.
