Find a local builder who can repoint internal or external brickwork at a great price with no fuss
Looking for a builder to help you with repointing brickwork? A builder can help you to reduce leaks and damp problems in your home by repacking the mortar between the bricks or stone blocks that your house is made from.
A builder can help you with all aspects of a repointing project:
External repointing
- Clearing the walls of any growing plants and removing old mortar
- Mixing the right mortar for your home – usually lime or cement
- Filling courses and vertical joints
Internal repointing
- Usually performed in older houses made from brick or stone
- Can be needed after a subsidence problem, when the house has moved and caused bricks and mortar to crack and move out of alignment
- May replace damaged bricks as well as mortar
- Can work with other tradespeople like plasterers or decorators to ensure they leave no trace of cracked bricks
So, if you need a builder to repoint your brickwork, HaMuch has thousands of friendly, registered professionals ready to help with your project every step of the way.
Why do you need a builder that specialises in pointing brickwork?
When it comes to maintaining and preserving the structural integrity of a building, it’s vital that your brickwork is up to standard. Over time, brickwork can deteriorate due to weathering, moisture, or poor construction techniques. That's where a builder specialising in pointing brickwork becomes indispensable.
Here are the top reasons why you need a builder that specialises in repointing:
Understanding of different mortar types: A specialist builder will have understanding of different mortar types and their appropriate application. They can determine the most suitable mortar mix, ensuring compatibility with the existing brickwork and the specific needs of the structure. A specialist builder can also assess the condition of the existing mortar joints and determine whether repointing or complete replacement is required.
Skills and craftsmanship: Builders specialising in repointing brickwork possess the skills to remove the deteriorated mortar without damaging the surrounding bricks and can expertly apply new mortar, matching the original style and finish. Their attention to detail ensures a seamless blend with the existing brickwork, ensuring your home still has fantastic kerb appeal.
Ability to spot structural issues: A builder specialising in pointing can address structural issues that may arise during the process. They can identify potential weaknesses, such as loose bricks or cracks, and take the necessary steps to reinforce and stabilise the structure. This level of expertise ensures not only the longevity of the brickwork but also the overall safety and stability of the building.
What does a builder that specialises in pointing do?
A builder who specialises in pointing plays a crucial role in preserving and maintaining the integrity of brickwork. Their expertise lies in the repair, restoration, and replacement of mortar joints between bricks. The primary focus of their work is to ensure the structural stability, weather resistance, and aesthetic appeal of the brickwork. Let’s look in more detail at what a specialist repointing builder does:
Assessment: One of the key tasks that a builder specialising in pointing undertakes is the assessment of the existing mortar joints. They carefully inspect the condition of the joints, looking for signs of deterioration, such as crumbling, cracking, or eroded mortar. Based on their evaluation, they determine whether repointing or complete replacement is necessary.
Removes old mortar: Once the assessment is complete, the builder begins the process of removing the deteriorated mortar. They use special tools and techniques to carefully chip away the old mortar, being mindful not to damage the surrounding bricks. This process requires precision and skill to ensure that the structural integrity of the brickwork remains intact.
Mixes and applies new mortar: After removing the old mortar, the builder prepares a suitable mortar mix for the repointing process. They consider factors such as the type of bricks, the desired finish, and the environmental conditions to select the appropriate mortar composition. The builder then skilfully applies the new mortar, ensuring a proper bond with the bricks and creating uniform, aesthetically pleasing joints.
Looks out for structural issues: A builder specialising in pointing also pays attention to the overall stability and strength of the brickwork. They can identify any structural issues, such as loose bricks or cracks, and address them accordingly. This may involve reinforcing the structure, realigning bricks, or providing additional support to ensure long-term stability.
A builder specialising in pointing has the expertise to assess, repair, and restore mortar joints in brickwork. Their work involves careful evaluation, removal of deteriorated mortar, application of new mortar, and addressing structural issues. By leveraging their knowledge and skills, they contribute to the longevity, stability, and visual appeal of the brickwork, ensuring that the building remains structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing for years to come.
