Expert pointing for long-lasting roofs
Pointing plays a vital part in stopping rainwater penetrating into masonry joints.
Great care should be taken when replacing pointing, both in removing the old material and sourcing, mixing and applying the replacement pointing.
Any construction built in stone needs a lime-based mortar to allow trapped moisture in the joints to escape, the stonework needs to “breathe”.
Non-Hydraulic lime is used in these lime-based mortars and the lime product used very much depends on the stone.
Preparation and immediate after care are key to ensure any re-pointing is a success.
We will carefully inspect your pointing and if required provide a report with our recommendations supported by video evidence.
Let us keep your property safe through every season. In addition to masonry care, we can inspect your home's water management with our dedicated guttering services or transition the project into modern flat roof and tiling installations if required.
What makes our pointing stand out?
We don’t just patch up cracks; we carefully rake out old, failing mortar and apply fresh, weatherproof mixes that match your roof’s original look. Our two small teams ensure continuity from start to finish, with every project overseen by a member of our family. We know local weather can be tough, so we use techniques refined over decades to make sure your ridge, verge, and brickwork joints stay tight and tidy well into the future.
