GET A QUOTERepointing in Overton
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 Overton 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.

Repointing is skilled work and we treat it that way, raking out properly and mixing the right mortar rather than smearing over failed joints.

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.
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.
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.
