How long does repointing take?

Repointing duration depends on the property size and scope of work. Typically, a standard residential home can take 3–7 days, while larger commercial properties may require longer.

How much does repointing cost?

Costs vary depending on the mortar type, area to be repointed, and property condition. We provide free, detailed quotes tailored to each project.

Can repointing be done in any weather?

Repointing is best done in dry conditions. However, our team uses specialised techniques and materials to carry out work safely and effectively even in variable Irish weather.

Will repointing damage my existing brickwork?

No. Our trained professionals carefully remove old mortar without harming the bricks, ensuring structural integrity and aesthetic consistency.

How often should repointing be done?

Mortar joints typically require repointing every 20–30 years for cement mortar and every 50–60 years for lime mortar, depending on exposure and building age.

What is Repointing and Why It Matters

Repointing is the process of renewing the external part of mortar joints in brickwork. Over time, weather, pollution, and natural wear and tear can cause mortar to crack, crumble, or erode, leaving your building vulnerable to water ingress and structural damage. Ignoring damaged mortar can lead to:

  Water penetration, which can cause dampness and mould.
  Weakening of brickwork, increasing the risk of cracks and eventual collapse.
  Reduced property value due to visible deterioration.

Our Comprehensive Repointing Services

Traditional Lime Mortar Repointing
We use lime mortar, which is ideal for older or historic buildings. Lime mortar is breathable, flexible, and compatible with traditional brickwork, preventing damage that can occur with modern cement-based mortars.
Cement Mortar Repointing
For modern properties, we employ cement-based mortars that provide robust durability and weather resistance. Cement mortar is ideal for homes and commercial buildings exposed to harsh weather conditions.
Partial and Full Repointing
Whether your property requires a partial repoint to address specific damaged areas or a full repoint for complete restoration, our team delivers meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. We ensure that all joints are neatly finished, uniform, and fully sealed.
Colour Matching and Finishing
We understand the importance of aesthetic consistency. Our team meticulously matches the colour and texture of the new mortar to your existing brickwork, achieving a seamless, natural finish that enhances your property’s appearance.
Protective Treatments
After repointing, we offer optional waterproofing and protective treatments to further extend the lifespan of your brickwork and prevent future deterioration caused by rain, frost, and environmental pollutants.

Signs Your Property Needs Repointing

Property owners often overlook the early warning signs of deteriorating mortar. Key indicators include:

  Cracked or crumbling mortar joints.
  Water ingress and damp patches inside the property.
  Loose or missing bricks.
  White powdery deposits (efflorescence) on the brick surface.
  Visible gaps between bricks, allowing pests or moisture to penetrate.
