GET A QUOTERepointing in Great Harwood
Older and exposed homes suffer most from failed pointing, with driving rain finding every open joint and washing mortar back out year after year. Repointing is a careful job rather than a quick smear over the top: the raking-out and mortar mix matter as much as the finish. KSB Roofing Solutions covers Great Harwood and nearby, repointing walls, chimneys and roofline joints, and we always advise against hard cement on soft older brick that needs a breathable lime mortar.
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.
Why choose KSB Roofing Solutions
We are a local Preston and Lancashire roofing company, so covering Great Harwood is straightforward for us. Repointing is skilled work and we treat it that way, raking out properly and mixing the right mortar rather than smearing over failed joints. Free quotes, fully insured, honest advice on lime versus cement, and clean, considerate work on every job.

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.
Will repointing make a mess and require scaffold?
Most of the disruption is outside rather than in. Higher areas and chimneys generally require scaffold for safety and a proper job, and we allow for that in the quote. There is some dust from cutting the old mortar out, which we manage with sheeting and regular clearing up. We keep access tidy and leave the joints and the ground around them clean when finished.
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.
