Local pointing and repointing experts

What is brickwork pointing?

Brickwork pointing refers to the process of applying mortar to the joints between bricks, providing a strong, weatherproof seal. Over time, this mortar can wear away, allowing moisture to penetrate, which is when repointing—replacing the old mortar—is essential. Repointing not only restores the appearance of your brickwork but also strengthens the structure, protecting it from the elements.

Cost of pointing and repointing

The cost of pointing and repointing depends on factors like the size of the area, accessibility, and the type of mortar used:

  • Small Repairs: Minor pointing repairs may start at £100 to £300.
  • Full Repointing Job: For a full repointing project on a standard home, costs can range from £1,000 to £3,000 or more, depending on the complexity.

For accurate quotes tailored to your needs, you can post your job on Rated People and find reliable, local tradespeople.

How long does repointing take?

Repointing timelines vary depending on the size of the area and the condition of the existing mortar. Small sections may take just a few hours, while a full house repointing could take 1 to 2 weeks. Proper drying and curing time between mortar applications can also extend the project duration, ensuring a durable finish.

Other pointing and repointing FAQs

How do I know if my brickwork needs repointing?

Signs include crumbling mortar, visible gaps, and moisture seepage, all indicating that repointing is needed to restore stability and protection.

Can I repoint brickwork myself?

While possible, repointing is a skilled job requiring precision. Hiring a professional ensures a high-quality, long-lasting result.

What materials are used for pointing brickwork?

Lime-based or cement-based mortars are commonly used, chosen based on compatibility with the original brick and mortar type.

We were contacted quickly by the roofer and he came very quickly to have a look at the job that needed doing. That afternoon we received the quote and he send someone over to do the job two days later. It was done properly that day, with photos to show how nicely it was done! We are very pleased, with everything; the speed of the investigation, the speed of the pricing, the speed of the job, and the way the job was done! Terrific.

George recently carried out some work at my property, including removing two stud walls, taking out an old toilet, and fitting a new sink. He quoted a very fair price, stuck to the agreed timescale, and completed everything to a high standard. He was punctual, professional, and cleaned up at the end of each day. The quality of his work was excellent, and the space looks much better now. I’d happily recommend George and will use him again in the future.
