GET A QUOTERepointing in Thornton Cleveleys
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 Thornton Cleveleys 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.

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.
How do I know if I need repointing?
Look for mortar that is crumbling, cracked, powdery or missing, with sand loose at the base of the wall. Open or hollow-sounding joints, gaps you can slot a coin into, and damp patches appearing inside are all signs. On chimneys, watch for loose flaunching and washed-out joints. If you are unsure, we will survey the walls for free and tell you honestly whether it needs doing yet.
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.
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.
