What Is House Repointing And What Does It Solve?
House repointing replaces worn or damaged mortar between bricks, restoring the weather-resistant seal that holds the brickwork together. While bricks often remain in good condition for decades, the mortar gradually breaks down through constant exposure to rain, frost and changing temperatures.
As mortar erodes, small gaps develop between the bricks, allowing water to penetrate the wall more easily. Over time, these joints become deeper, sections of mortar fall away and the brickwork loses the protection originally provided by the pointing. The problem often becomes noticeable on exposed elevations, around chimneys and beneath rooflines where weather conditions are more demanding.
At LPS Property Services & Exterior Cleaning, repointing work benefits from more than 15 years of practical building experience. Every property is assessed individually because older homes, modern brickwork and previous repairs all require different approaches. The focus is on replacing deteriorated mortar while preserving the integrity and appearance of the existing brickwork.

Common House Repointing Situations
A common enquiry comes from homeowners who notice small piles of sandy mortar collecting beneath external walls after periods of wind or heavy rain. They often assume the bricks themselves are deteriorating, but inspection usually shows the mortar has weathered away while the surrounding brickwork remains structurally sound. Replacing the missing mortar restores protection before larger gaps develop.
Another regular situation involves homeowners preparing to repaint external woodwork or improve the front of the property. During closer inspection, they discover open mortar joints around windows and corners that previous owners had patched using filler or surface sealants. Those repairs have cracked away because the original mortar continued deteriorating beneath them, leaving the same areas exposed once again.
These situations appear regularly because mortar wears away gradually, making the change difficult to recognise until sections begin falling from the wall.

When Do You Need House Repointing Services?
Mortar usually deteriorates over many years rather than failing suddenly. Weather exposure slowly removes the surface, joints become deeper and small cracks widen as moisture repeatedly enters and dries within the brickwork.
Many homeowners brush away loose mortar or apply surface fillers because the damaged areas initially seem minor. Those repairs rarely bond effectively to weathered joints and often fail after another winter, leading to repeated maintenance while the original mortar continues eroding.
The following signs usually indicate professional repointing is required:
Mortar crumbles easily when lightly touched by hand.
Visible gaps appear between neighbouring bricks.
Previous patch repairs continue cracking or falling away.
Loose mortar collects beneath external brick walls regularly.

What Happens During House Repointing & What To Expect?
Every project begins with a careful inspection of the brickwork to assess the condition of the mortar, identify previous repairs and determine how much repointing is required. Damaged joints are prepared before fresh mortar is applied, creating a secure bond with the surrounding brickwork.
Attention is given to consistent joint depth, clean finishing and matching the existing appearance wherever possible. Careful preparation prevents loose material remaining within the joints and helps produce an even finish across repaired sections instead of isolated patches.
Once completed, the brickwork has renewed weather protection, cleaner mortar lines and improved resistance to further water penetration through open joints. The property also presents a more uniform external appearance while retaining its original character.
If your brickwork is showing signs of worn mortar, LPS Property Services & Exterior Cleaning is ready to assess its condition and provide straightforward advice on the repointing work needed to protect your home.
