Small details make a lasting difference
Mortar joints form a significant part of a wall’s appearance. Their colour, texture and profile all influence the finished result. Lime pointing requires consideration of the masonry as well as the look of the joint.
Look at the whole wall
We begin by discussing the condition of the existing joints, any previous repairs and the type of brick, stone or flint. Photographs of the whole elevation and close-up views of worn or damaged areas help establish the conversation.
An appropriate repair scope
Repointing may be needed locally or over a larger area. The proposal should reflect what is failing, the condition of the surrounding material and the finish required. Tell us about any related restoration work so the approach can be considered together.
Discuss your project
For an initial enquiry, include your location, approximate wall dimensions and access details. Photographs of original mortar that remains in good condition can also be useful when discussing the appearance of a repair.
A useful starting point
