Local pointing and repointing experts

What is brickwork pointing?

Brickwork pointing refers to the process of applying mortar to the joints between bricks, providing a strong, weatherproof seal. Over time, this mortar can wear away, allowing moisture to penetrate, which is when repointing—replacing the old mortar—is essential. Repointing not only restores the appearance of your brickwork but also strengthens the structure, protecting it from the elements.

Cost of pointing and repointing

The cost of pointing and repointing depends on factors like the size of the area, accessibility, and the type of mortar used:

  • Small Repairs: Minor pointing repairs may start at £100 to £300.
  • Full Repointing Job: For a full repointing project on a standard home, costs can range from £1,000 to £3,000 or more, depending on the complexity.

For accurate quotes tailored to your needs, you can post your job on Rated People and find reliable, local tradespeople.

How long does repointing take?

Repointing timelines vary depending on the size of the area and the condition of the existing mortar. Small sections may take just a few hours, while a full house repointing could take 1 to 2 weeks. Proper drying and curing time between mortar applications can also extend the project duration, ensuring a durable finish.

Other pointing and repointing FAQs

How do I know if my brickwork needs repointing?

Signs include crumbling mortar, visible gaps, and moisture seepage, all indicating that repointing is needed to restore stability and protection.

Can I repoint brickwork myself?

While possible, repointing is a skilled job requiring precision. Hiring a professional ensures a high-quality, long-lasting result.

What materials are used for pointing brickwork?

Lime-based or cement-based mortars are commonly used, chosen based on compatibility with the original brick and mortar type.
