GET A QUOTERepointing in Skelmersdale
Sound pointing is what stops rain, frost and wind getting behind your brickwork and into the fabric of the building. Once the joints go soft, powdery or open, moisture gets in and the problem spreads. Repointing rakes the old mortar out cleanly and packs the joints with a properly mixed mortar, finished to shed water. Working across Skelmersdale and the surrounding villages, KSB Roofing Solutions repoints chimneys, ridges, verges and full elevations, matching the colour and profile of the existing work.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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 We do not quote blind figures, so we offer a free survey and give you a written quote based on what your property actually needs.
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.
