Common Questions

Repointing questions, answered

Everything Essex homeowners usually ask before booking their brickwork. Still unsure? Get in touch — we're happy to help.

How much does brick repointing cost?
Every job is different, so we give a free, no-obligation quote after seeing the brickwork. Cost depends on the size of the area, access, the condition of the joints and the mortar finish you choose. Request a free quote and we'll give you a clear, honest price with no surprises.
How long does repointing last?
Repointing done properly — with the right mortar mix, fully raked-out joints and a weather-tight finish — can last 50 years or more. Using the correct mortar for your brick (especially breathable lime mortar on period homes) is the key to a long-lasting repair.
How do I know if my brickwork needs repointing?
Tell-tale signs include crumbling or receding mortar, cracks in the joints, damp appearing inside, loose or spalling bricks, and gaps you can push a key into. If you're seeing any of these, it's worth booking a survey before water gets deeper into the wall.
What's the difference between lime mortar and cement repointing?
Older and period properties were built with soft bricks and breathable lime mortar. Repointing them in hard modern cement traps moisture and can damage the brick. We match the right mortar to your property — see our lime mortar repointing service for heritage and period homes.
Which areas of Essex do you cover?
We're based in Southend-on-Sea and Leigh-on-Sea and cover all of Essex including Rochford, Benfleet, Hadleigh, Chelmsford, Brentwood, Billericay, Maldon and beyond, plus the wider South East and London. Ask about your area — chances are we cover it.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes — every quote is free and comes with no obligation. Call us on 07777 306248 or send us a message and we'll arrange a convenient time to take a look.
