Our approach
“Most of the work in repointing is the part you never see: removing failed mortar properly and choosing the right mix for the building.”
Rain, frost and pollution wear away mortar, bricks and render. Over time joints loosen and crack, bricks spall and rendered walls show damage, letting water into the fabric of the building.
We start by surveying the façade: where the mortar has failed, which bricks or sections of render need attention, and whether any cracks or staining need further investigation.
The right approach depends on the age and construction of the house. An older London property needs a different mortar and repair method from a newer one, and the colour, texture and joint profile all have to match. The scope, finish and access are agreed before work begins.
What’s included
Everything below is managed by our own team. The exact scope, materials and responsibilities are agreed in writing before work starts.
Failed mortar raked out to the correct depth and joints repointed in a mix and profile that suit the brick.
Targeted repairs around windows, doors, parapets and exposed sections where the whole wall does not need doing.
Damaged areas of brickwork repaired, with the method chosen to suit the surrounding wall.
Cracked or spalled bricks cut out and replaced with bricks matched in size, colour and texture.
Pointing, brick repairs, cleaning and render work planned together as one façade project.
Sills, surrounds and stone details repaired with care for the original material.
Cracks assessed first, so the repair deals with the cause rather than covering it up.
Treatments only where they suit the material and let the wall breathe.
Safe access arranged, with neighbours, pavements and shared areas considered.

Pointing and façade repairs are often done alongside other work: an extension, new windows, roof repairs or a full refurbishment before moving in.
Planning it together means one set of scaffolding, one programme and one team, which usually saves time and cost.

Repointing means raking out failed mortar from the joints between bricks or stones and replacing it with new mortar of the right mix, colour and profile for the building.
Look for crumbling, cracked or missing mortar, joints recessed deep into the wall, damp patches inside, and plants growing from the brickwork. We can survey the façade and tell you what needs doing now.
Not always. Some houses need local repairs only, others have failed mortar across the whole elevation. We tell you which after the survey.
We match colour, texture and joint profile as closely as possible and source reclaimed or matching bricks for replacements.
It depends on the height of the building and where the repairs are. We arrange suitable access and plan around neighbours and pavements.
Usually, yes. Most of the work is outside, so disruption inside the home is limited.
