Brickwork & Brick Repointing
Brickwork & Repointing in Darlington: Sound Walls That Shed Water.
Brickwork and brick repointing across Darlington, raking out decayed mortar and re-pointing weathered joints to stop damp and protect your brickwork.
The problem we solve
Why you might need brickwork & brick repointing.
When mortar joints crumble and recede, the bricks themselves become the next thing to fail. Water soaks in, freezes, and blows the face off the brick, a problem that's far more expensive to fix than repointing. Repointing rakes out the decayed mortar and replaces it with fresh, weather-resistant mortar, restoring the joint and protecting the brickwork underneath.
Signs to look out for
Common signs this work is needed
- Mortar that is crumbling, cracked or recessed back from the brick face
- Gaps where mortar has fallen out of the joints
- Damp patches on internal walls, particularly after driving rain
- Spalling bricks where the face is flaking or blowing off
- A powdery, white salt build-up on the brickwork
- Mortar you can easily rake out with a finger or a key
What's included
A complete, in-house scope.
Mortar joints are the first line of defence against the weather, and over the years they erode, crack and drop out. Once the mortar goes, rain soaks into the brickwork, frost gets a hold, and you're on the way to damp walls and spalling bricks.
