BEFORE & AFTER
See the difference proper repointing makes
Real Classic Pointing projects — before and after. See how careful preparation and the right mortar can transform tired brick and stonework.
Brick repointing transformation
Weathered and inconsistent mortar joints were raked out and prepared before the elevation was fully repointed, giving the brickwork a cleaner, sharper and more consistent appearance.
Before
After
The existing joints were thoroughly raked out and cleaned before being repointed with a lime-based mortar chosen to complement the brickwork. The lighter, consistent joint finish brings out the natural reds and variations in the bricks without making the elevation look artificially new.
Stone repointing transformation
Old strap pointing removed and replaced with breathable NHL 3.5 lime mortar to restore a more natural finish and help the stonework manage moisture correctly.
Before
After
The old strap pointing was carefully removed and the joints cleaned out before being repointed with a breathable NHL 3.5 lime mortar. The new joints sit naturally with the stonework while allowing moisture to move through the mortar rather than becoming trapped in the masonry.

READY TO GET STARTED?
Let's take a look at your brickwork.
Lime Mortar Repointing
We specialise in lime mortar repointing for traditional brick and stonework. Lime is breathable, allowing moisture to evaporate through the mortar joints rather than becoming trapped within the masonry — an important consideration when managing damp in many older properties.
Not sure whether your property needs lime or cement-based mortar? We can assess the masonry and recommend an appropriate approach.

EXAMPLE OF OUR WORK
Traditional brick repointing and damp-related repairs
See how we protected a homeowner's windows with premium sheeting, removed old cement mortar, cleaned the brickwork and repointed using NHL 3.5 lime mortar. The homeowner subsequently reported no further penetrating damp problems.
