GET A QUOTERepointing in Cottam
When pointing starts to crumble, sand runs out of the joints and the mortar sits loose or hollow, the wall has lost its first line of defence against the weather. Repointing puts that right by cutting out the perished mortar to a sound depth and refilling the joints properly. We take on brickwork, stonework, chimney stacks and roofline pointing throughout Cottam, working out whether lime or cement mortar suits the age and exposure of your property before we start.
What the work involves
The first decision is the mortar itself: soft older brick and stone usually need a breathable lime mortar, while harder modern brick can take a cement-based mix. We rake the perished joints out to sound mortar, clear the dust, then fill and compact them so there are no voids for water to sit in. Chimney work often includes repointing the stack, checking the flaunching around the pots and renewing it where it has cracked, since that is a common route for damp.

Do you offer any guarantee and do you have insurance?
We are fully insured for the work we carry out, and we back the quality of our repointing. A lasting job comes from raking out to a sound depth and using a suitable, well-mixed mortar, not from patching over the surface. We are happy to explain the cover and what we guarantee at the quoting stage so everything is clear up front.
What is the difference between lime and cement repointing?
Lime mortar is softer and breathable, so it suits older and traditional buildings where a rigid cement mix would do damage by trapping water and forcing it through the brick instead of the joint. Cement mortar is stronger and fine for many modern properties. Matching the mortar to the wall matters for both longevity and the fabric of the building, and we will advise on which is correct for yours.
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.
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.
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.
