Brick & Lime Pointing
Re-Pointing the Brickwork on Your House
Mortar is meant to wear before the bricks do. Once the joints on a house wall have eroded, rain soaks into the brickwork instead of running off it, which can lead to damp inside, frost damage to the bricks and loose masonry.
We rake out the failed joints to an even depth and re-point them with a mortar that suits the wall: a cement-based mix on modern brickwork, and lime mortar on older, softer bricks. The colour is matched to the existing pointing as closely as we can.
We cover the whole area, including brick & lime pointing in Wilmslow, Stockport and Altrincham.

Lime Pointing for Victorian Terraced Houses
Many Victorian terraces across South Manchester and Cheshire were built with soft bricks and lime mortar. Over the years a lot of them have been re-pointed in hard cement, which traps moisture and can make the face of the bricks crumble and flake.
Where that has happened, we rake the cement out carefully and re-point in lime, so the wall can dry out again.
- Lime mortar suited to soft, older bricks
- Hard cement pointing raked out with care
- Mortar colour matched to the existing joints
- Care taken at walls shared with neighbours
