Does your property need repointing?
Repointing is usually needed when the mortar between the bricks starts to break down. Look out for any of these signs:
- Mortar falling from the joints
- Joints recessed deeper than the surrounding brick edges
- Cracks running through the mortar
- Soft or powdery mortar you can rub away
- Open gaps letting in water
- Visibly weathered chimney joints
- Damaged brick faces next to hard mortar
