GET A QUOTERepointing in Longridge
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 Longridge 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
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.

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.
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 long does repointing take?
It depends on the area and the mortar. A chimney might take a day or two, while a full elevation runs to several days once raking out, filling and tooling are allowed for. Lime mortar needs longer because it cures more slowly and is best worked in cooler, damp conditions. We give you a realistic timescale with your quote once we have seen the job.
