Pointing & Re-Pointing
Repairing and renewing mortar joints between bricks and stones, protecting masonry across Bedford and Bedfordshire properties.
The mortar matters as much as the brick
Mortar joints take the brunt of the weather over the years, and once they start to crumble or wash away, the wall behind them is left vulnerable to water ingress and frost damage. Pointing and re-pointing renews those joints, restoring both the structural integrity of the wall and its appearance.
What's the difference?
- Pointing — applying new mortar to joints, typically as part of 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
- Available in flush, recessed or weather-struck styles depending on the look you want
- Careful colour and texture matching so repairs blend with 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 can stand out against the original work for years. We take the time to match it properly, not just fill the gap.
