When does my house need repointing?
The weather in Britain has a lot to answer for. Brickwork is often the victim of all the stress and strain that mother nature can throw at it including snow, wind, driving rain and frost. As you can imagine, whilst brickwork is tough and designed to withstand mother nature, it cannot hold its own forever.
The mortar in the joints plays a crucial role in protecting the brickwork. After time this mortar breaks down leaving the bricks in your wall without the full protection that they need. This leaves brickwork exposed to the elements which could also lead to damp and damaged plaster.
When does my brickwork need repointing?
Your brickwork needs repointing as soon as the face of the mortar has perished. For more advice on this issue please get in touch via our contact page
The benefits of re-pointing include
- Preservation of a historical building whilst still keeping the authenticity of the original bricks
