Looking for new repointing?
Welcome to Craig Seymour Building Services: Your Trusted Partner For Exceptional Repointing
Repointing, also known as tuckpointing, is the process of renewing the external part of mortar joints in masonry construction. This maintenance technique offers several benefits, particularly for preserving the structural integrity and appearance of buildings.
It’s important to note that proper repointing requires skilled craftsmanship. Using the right materials and techniques is essential to ensure the long-term effectiveness of repointing and to avoid causing additional damage.
What are the benefits of repointing?
- Structural Integrity: The joints between the brickwork become weathered after a period of time, resulting in wear, gaps in the brickwork and in some cases cause structural collapse Repointing helps restore the structural stability of a masonry wall by replacing damaged or eroded mortar, preventing potential collapse or further damage.
- Water Infiltration Prevention: Cracked or deteriorated mortar joints can allow water to seep into the masonry. This can lead to moisture-related issues such as mold growth, efflorescence (white mineral deposits), and freeze-thaw damage. Proper repointing seals gaps and cracks, preventing water infiltration and protecting the underlying materials from moisture damage.
- Longevity: Well-maintained mortar joints extend the lifespan of a masonry structure. Regular repointing can prevent the need for extensive repairs or reconstruction in the future, saving both time and money.
- Aesthetic Restoration: Repointing not only addresses structural issues but also enhances the appearance of a building. By using mortar that matches the original color and texture, repointing can restore the historic or architectural aesthetics of a structure.
- Prevention of Loose or Falling Bricks: Damaged mortar can cause bricks or stones to become loose or dislodged from the wall. Repointing secures these elements in place, reducing the risk of falling debris and ensuring safety.
- Property Value: Maintaining the exterior of a building through repointing can positively impact its resale value. Potential home buyers are likely to consider that the property is in good condition external and also provides a visual appeal with a clean, new look.
