GET A QUOTERepointing in Chorley
Repointing is the job of raking out old, failed mortar between bricks or stone and replacing it with fresh mortar that keeps water out and holds the wall together. Over time weather, frost and age break the pointing down, leaving open joints that let damp track inside. As a Lancashire firm covering Chorley and the surrounding area, KSB Roofing Solutions handles repointing on chimneys, gable walls, ridges and verges, matching mortar type and finish to the property.
What the work involves
We work section by section so the wall is never left fully open to the weather. After raking out and cleaning the joints, the brickwork is wetted to stop it drawing moisture out of the fresh mortar too fast, which is what causes weak, dusty joints. The mortar is packed in, left to firm up, then tooled to the chosen finish. On the roofline we repoint ridge tiles, verges and bedding, often bedding loose tiles back down at the same time.

How do I know if I need repointing?
Look for mortar that is crumbling, cracked, powdery or missing, with sand loose at the base of the wall. Open or hollow-sounding joints, gaps you can slot a coin into, and damp patches appearing inside are all signs. On chimneys, watch for loose flaunching and washed-out joints. If you are unsure, we will survey the walls for free and tell you honestly whether it needs doing yet.
Is repointing disruptive and do you need scaffolding?
Repointing is fairly low-disruption inside the house as the work is external. Chimneys and upper walls usually need scaffold or a tower for safe access, while lower work can be done off ladders. Raking out creates dust, so we sheet up and clean down as we go. We work in sections so the wall is not left fully exposed, and we clear the site each day.
Is your work guaranteed and are you insured?
Yes, KSB Roofing Solutions is fully insured and we stand behind the workmanship on our repointing. We use the correct mortar for your walls and rake out and fill the joints properly, which is what makes the repair last. We will talk through what is covered when we quote, so you know exactly where you stand before the work starts.
Should I use lime or cement mortar for repointing?
It depends on the property. Older brick and stone are usually soft and need a breathable lime mortar that lets moisture escape and flexes with the wall. Hard cement on soft old brick traps damp and causes the brick faces to spall and crack off. Harder modern brick can take a cement-based mix. We assess the age and material and recommend the right mortar for your walls.
What does repointing a wall or chimney cost?
It varies with the size of the job, the height and access, the condition of the existing mortar and the mortar type required. Chimney repointing differs from a whole gable, and scaffold adds cost where it is needed. Rather than guess, we come out, look at the walls, and provide a free no-obligation quote so you know the figure before any work begins.
