GET A QUOTERepointing in Freckleton
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 Freckleton, working out whether lime or cement mortar suits the age and exposure of your property before we start.
What the work involves
A repointing job starts with raking out the old mortar to a consistent depth, roughly two to three times the joint width, using hand tools or a raking disc so the surrounding brick is not damaged. The joints are then brushed and dampened down before we press in the fresh mortar in layers and iron it to the right profile, whether that is flush, bucket-handle or weatherstruck. We mix the mortar to match the existing sand and colour so the repair blends in rather than standing out.

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.
What are the signs that pointing needs redoing?
Common signs are receding joints, mortar you can rub out with a finger, cracks running along the pointing, and vegetation or moss taking hold in the gaps. Inside, you might see damp on chimney breasts or along external walls. Older and exposed properties suffer first. A free survey settles it, and we will not push repointing on joints that are still sound.
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.
