Restore Strength and Beauty to Your Brickwork with Expert Repointing
At Brick Care, we provide professional repointing services throughout Barnsley, Rotherham and the wider Yorkshire area, helping homeowners and businesses protect and restore their brickwork.
Repointing involves removing damaged or weathered mortar joints and replacing them with fresh, carefully matched mortar. This process not only improves your property's appearance, but also prevents water damage, damp, and structural decay.
With over 50 years of combined industry experience, our team is trusted for their precision, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. Whether your property is a modern home, a period terrace, or a large commercial building, we'll ensure your brickwork stands strong and looks its best for decades to come.
Careful, Skilled Repointing - Done the Right Way
Repointing requires patience, precision, and experience to achieve lasting results. Every project we undertake follows a proven process that ensures your brickwork remains solid, weatherproof and visually consistent.
Our step-by-step repointing process:
- Detailed Assessment We start by inspecting your property's brickwork to determine the extent of mortar deterioration. This helps us identify the right depth for raking out and the correct type of replacement mortar.
- Preparation & Removal Using specialist hand tools or dust-controlled grinders, we carefully remove old, crumbling mortar to the appropriate depth, ensuring the surrounding bricks remain intact.
- Mortar Matching We mix a replacement mortar that matches the original in both composition and colour, ensuring a seamless repair. For heritage properties, we can also use traditional lime mortar for a breathable, historically accurate finish.
- Application & Compaction Fresh mortar is applied in controlled layers, tightly compacted into each joint for strength and weather resistance. This meticulous method ensures no voids, cracks or weak spots.
- Finishing Touches Once the mortar begins to set, we tool it to the correct profile — whether that's flush, weather-struck, recessed, or tuck-pointed - to perfectly complement the surrounding brickwork.
- Cleaning & Inspection After the work is complete, we clean the surface and conduct a full inspection, leaving your property neat, tidy, and ready to admire.
Protect, Preserve and Enhance Your Property
Repointing may look like a cosmetic upgrade, but it’s one of the most valuable maintenance tasks you can carry out on a brick property.
Here's why:
-
Restores Structural Strength
Replacing weak mortar reinforces your walls, preventing instability and protecting against long-term damage. -
Stops Damp and Water Ingress
New mortar seals gaps where water might penetrate, helping to prevent damp patches, mould, and interior damage. -
Enhances Visual Appeal
Clean, colour-matched mortar instantly refreshes the look of your property, giving it a sharp, cared-for appearance. -
Boosts Property Value
Well-maintained brickwork adds value and reassurance for buyers, landlords, and building surveyors alike. -
Prevents Costly Repairs
Repointing now can save thousands later — avoiding serious damage caused by water, frost or crumbling joints.
