More Information
Why Repointing Matters
Once mortar starts to crumble, water can get behind the brickwork and cause damage from the inside out, eventually leading to cracked or loose bricks. Repointing before this happens is a straightforward way to protect your chimney and avoid a more costly stack replacement later on.
Matching the Original Mortar
Getting the mortar mix right matters, particularly on older properties around Dorking where a mismatched mortar can stand out and even cause damage to softer, older bricks over time. We take care to match the mix and finish to your existing pointing wherever possible.
A Job Done Properly
Repointing is not a quick surface job done well. We rake out old, failing mortar to the correct depth before repointing, rather than simply skimming over the top, which gives a repair that actually lasts rather than one that fails again within a year or two.
ABOUT US
We repointed the chimney on an old cottage in Ewhurst where decades of weather had left the mortar crumbling in several places. Using a lime based mortar to match the age and style of the building, we were able to protect the chimney while keeping its original character fully intact.
