When does a house or building require Repointing?

It is essential that you know how to identify when you need to repoint. The identifying process is extremely simple. When examining your brick, a good guide to check is to measure the depth of the mortar against the height of the mortar gap. As soon as the depth matches the height of the mortar filling, you’ll need repointing. You should also simply use your finger to test the pointing, simply dig your finger into the joints in the bricks and see if the mortar breaks away. You should try this test in several areas of both the front and back of the property.

Lime Mortar Repointing

Many old brick houses and walls in East Sussex were constructed with lime mortar and the need to continue this building method is essential to the well-being of a aged house or construction. A many Victorian properties will probably have been constructed from lime mortar, and not cement. It is essential that cement is not used in repointing. When cement is used, the movement common in old properties will likely cause damage and cracks.
