FAQs on Repointing
What is Repointing?
Repointing is a building term that refers to the process of renewing the external part of the mortar joints between the bricks or stonework of a building. Repointing involves removing the old and damaged mortar and replacing it with new mortar, which helps to restore the structural integrity of the building while also improving its appearance.
How long does repointing take?
The length of time varies depending on the size and condition of the building. We’ll provide you with an estimated timeline before we begin the work.
How often should repointing be done?
The frequency of repointing depends on various factors, such as the age of the building, the climate, and the quality of the original mortar. In general, repointing should be done every 25-30 years.
Why is repointing important?
Repointing is important to maintain the structural integrity of a building and prevent water infiltration and other problems. It also helps to improve the appearance of the building and prevent costly damage in the future.
What are the signs that my building needs repointing?
Some signs that your building needs repointing include crumbling or cracked mortar, loose bricks or stones, or water infiltration. You can also use a screwdriver to gently scrape the mortar – if it comes off easily, it may need to be repointed.
