Expert repointing across London
Repointing is the foundation of keeping brickwork sound and weathertight. The mortar between your bricks takes the weather so the bricks do not have to, and once it starts to crumble or fall out, rain gets behind the face and the problem only grows.
We rake the old joints out to a proper depth, mix new mortar to match the colour and the joint profile, and point it up neatly so the wall is sound and looks the part. We work in lime mortar on older and listed properties where the wall needs to breathe, and in cement mortar where that is the right call.
What Our Repointing Service Includes
- Hand-raking old or failed joints to the correct depth
- Mortar mixed to match the existing colour, texture and joint profile
- Lime mortar for period and breathable walls, cement where suited
- Full elevations or patch repointing of worn areas

Our Repointing Process
Survey the joints
We check how deep the mortar has gone and what mix the wall was built with.
Rake out
Old mortar is cut and raked back to sound material, not just skimmed over.
Match the mortar
We mix to the original colour, sand and finish so the repair does not stand out.
Point and finish
Joints are filled and tooled to the right profile, weatherstruck, bucket-handle or flush.
Clean down
The face is brushed off and the area left clean.

What Affects The Price Of Repointing
Every job is priced on its own. These are the main things that affect the cost:
- Size of the area being repointed
- Access, and whether scaffolding or a tower is needed
- Lime mortar versus cement
- How much raking out the old joints need
- Working at height or to a listed-building spec
