GET A QUOTERepointing in Padiham
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 Padiham, working out whether lime or cement mortar suits the age and exposure of your property before we start.
What the work involves
We work section by section so the wall is never left fully open to the weather. After raking out and cleaning the joints, the brickwork is wetted to stop it drawing moisture out of the fresh mortar too fast, which is what causes weak, dusty joints. The mortar is packed in, left to firm up, then tooled to the chosen finish. On the roofline we repoint ridge tiles, verges and bedding, often bedding loose tiles back down at the same time.

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.
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.
Should I use lime or cement mortar for repointing?
It depends on the property. Older brick and stone are usually soft and need a breathable lime mortar that lets moisture escape and flexes with the wall. Hard cement on soft old brick traps damp and causes the brick faces to spall and crack off. Harder modern brick can take a cement-based mix. We assess the age and material and recommend the right mortar for your walls.
