When does a home or building need Repointing?

It is important that you know how to identify when it is time to repoint your property. Checking your pointing is extremely easy. When reviewing your brickwork, a great way to go by is to measure the depth against the height of the mortar gap. As soon as the depth is bigger than the height of the mortar gap, it’s time to get repointing. You can also use your finger to test the mortar, try digging a finger into the joints in the brickwork and see if any mortar comes away. Try this in multiple areas of both the front and back of the home.

Lime Mortar Repointing

Many aged brick homes and walls in North Somerset were originally constructed using lime mortar and it’s necessary to keep this building method is imperative to the well-being of a old house or construction. For example, a large number of Victorian buildings may likely have been constructed with lime mortar, not cement. So it’s crucial that cement isn’t used in repointing. If cement is used, the movement inherent in old homes will likely cause damage to bricks.
