Expert Brickwork Repointing Services for a Durable and Attractive Finish
Brickwork pointing is the process of filling the gaps and bonding the bricks together with mortar cement on the surface of an external wall. It is an important part of maintaining the structure of your building and preventing water damage. Repointing, or replacing defective pointing, may be necessary when the mortar has been damaged by age, weather, or lack of maintenance. Brickwork pointing makes up about 15% of the surface of an external wall and plays a crucial role in the overall stability and appearance of the building. It is recommended to check your brickwork pointing at least once a year as part of an annual maintenance plan. If you notice any damaged brickwork or suspect that your pointing may need repairs, it is important to address it promptly to prevent further damage and costly repairs down the line.
