Mortar joint repointing

Weathered mortar joints deserve a considered approach that accounts for the existing brick and the wall’s exposure.

Talk through your project
A close look at mortar joints

A scope that fits the space.

Pay attention to what holds it together. Start by looking at the existing conditions and your priorities together.

  • Identify the areas where joints have deteriorated.
  • Consider joint profile and material compatibility with the existing wall.
  • Distinguish localised joint repair from more extensive repointing.

Before the first conversation.

Note water exposure, previous patches and areas that deteriorate repeatedly.

Avoid assuming that a new surface layer will resolve an underlying moisture issue.

Share ground-level photos; do not climb or disturb loose masonry to document it.

For a useful checklist, read what to send for a useful brick repair enquiry. Your project brief can include photos, timing preferences and the details that matter most to you.

What this range covers

A guide for removing worn mortar and renewing joints in an accessible brick wall. The rate applies to the area being treated, rather than the floor area of your home.

What shapes your estimate

  • Depth and extent of joint deterioration
  • Access, height and wall protection
  • Mortar compatibility and finish matching

Small-job minimums and access equipment may apply. Brick replacement, structural cracks, lintels and rebuilding are assessed and quoted separately.

An indicative planning range, not a fixed quote or price cap. HST is additional. Your written estimate confirms the work, allowances, exclusions and total before you commit.
