When does a home or building require Repointing?

It’s essential that you have the knowledge to determine when it is time to repoint your property. The process is extremely easy. When reviewing your wall, 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 is bigger than the height of the mortar filling, it’s time to get repointing. You should also try using your finger to test the pointing, simply dig your finger into a joint between brickwork and see if any mortar comes away. Try this test in multiple areas of both the back and front of the property.

A large number of Victorian properties will probably have been built from lime mortar, not cement. So it’s essential that cement is not used in repairs. When cement is used, the movement inherent in old Victorian buildings can result in damage and cracks.

About Southampton

Southampton (/saʊθˈæmptən, -hæmptən/ ( listen)) is the largest city in the ceremonial county of Hampshire, England. It is 75 miles (121 km) south-west of London and 19 miles (31 km) north-west of Portsmouth. Southampton is a major port and the closest city to the New Forest. It lies at the northernmost point of Southampton Water at the confluence of the Rivers Test and Itchen,[6] with the River Hamble joining to the south of the urban area. The city, which is a unitary authority, has an estimated population of 253,651.[1] The city’s name is sometimes abbreviated in writing to “So’ton” or “Soton”, and a resident of Southampton is called a Sotonian.[7]

Significant employers in the city include Southampton City Council, the University of Southampton, Southampton Solent University, Southampton Airport, Ordnance Survey, BBC South, the NHS, ABP and Carnival UK.[citation needed] Southampton is noted for its association with the RMS Titanic,[8] the Spitfire[9] and more generally in the World War II narrative as one of the departure points for D-Day, and more recently as the home port of a number of the largest cruise ships in the world.[10] Southampton has a large shopping centre and retail park, Westquay. In 2014, the city council approved a follow-up from the Westquay park, WestQuay Watermark (now known as Westquay South), which opened in 2016–2017.
