LOCAL REPOINTING SPECIALISTS
Brick & stone repointing in Glossop
Classic Pointing is based in Glossop and provides specialist repointing for brick and stone properties throughout Glossop and the surrounding High Peak.
Over time, exposed mortar joints can weather, crack, crumble or wash out. We carefully remove deteriorated mortar, prepare the joints and repoint using an appropriate mortar for the existing masonry rather than assuming every property needs the same treatment.
From smaller areas of failed pointing and chimney repairs to individual elevations and larger house repointing projects, we can assess the condition of the masonry and provide a clear, no-obligation quotation.
WHEN TO GET IT CHECKED
Signs your property may need repointing
- Mortar crumbling when touched
- Open or deeply recessed joints
- Cracked or missing mortar
- Weathered joints on exposed walls
- Loose masonry around walls or chimneys
- Old patch repairs beginning to fail
Not every crack means full repointing is needed. Send photographs on WhatsApp or arrange a free quotation if you're unsure.
REAL GLOSSOP WORK
Recent stone repointing project in Glossop
A genuine Classic Pointing project showing the difference careful preparation and breathable lime mortar can make.
Traditional stone repointing using NHL 3.5 lime mortar
This traditional stone property in Glossop had previously been finished with heavy strap pointing. The old mortar was carefully removed, the joints cleaned and prepared, then the stonework was repointed using breathable NHL 3.5 lime mortar.
The new joints sit much more naturally with the stonework while retaining a breathable mortar joint appropriate for traditional masonry. Lime allows moisture to move through the mortar rather than being unnecessarily trapped within the surrounding stone.

Lime mortar repointing in Glossop
Traditional brick and stone properties often need a different approach from modern masonry. Classic Pointing provides lime mortar repointing in Glossop and the High Peak, including NHL lime mortar where it is appropriate for the existing masonry.
Lime mortar is breathable and allows moisture to evaporate through the mortar joints. This can be especially important on traditionally constructed properties, where an excessively hard or impermeable mortar may contribute to moisture being trapped within softer brick or stone.
We assess the existing masonry and mortar before recommending the most appropriate approach rather than assuming every building requires the same mortar.

Prepare
Carefully rake out deteriorated mortar and thoroughly clean and prepare the joints.
