GET A QUOTERepointing in Clayton le Woods
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 Clayton le Woods 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.

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.
How much does repointing cost?
The price depends on the area to be done, how high it is, the state of the joints, access and whether scaffold is needed. A small chimney costs far less than a full elevation, and lime mortar work takes longer than cement. We do not quote blind figures, so we offer a free survey and give you a written quote based on what your property actually needs.
How many days does a repointing job take?
Small jobs like a chimney or a patch of failed joints are often done in a day or two. Larger walls take longer, as raking out to a sound depth is the slow part and cannot be rushed without weakening the result. Weather and mortar type also affect the pace. We will set out an honest timescale when we quote so there are no surprises.
