Over time, the exterior of a house can begin to show signs of wear and tear, with one of the most common issues being deteriorating mortar in the brickwork or stonework. This deterioration can weaken the structural integrity of the building, affecting its appearance and potentially leading to water seepage and damage to its interior which will eventually result in mould or damp appearing inside your home.
House repointing is a crucial process that involves renewing the mortar joints between bricks or stones, it requires precision and attention to detail. During repointing, old and damaged mortar is carefully removed, and new mortar is skillfully applied, ensuring a strong bond between the existing bricks or stones.
House repointing significantly enhances the overall look of the property, even more important if you are looking to sell or rent your property in the future. The fresh mortar not only improves the appearance of the walls but also adds value and kerb appeal to your property. Whether your house is traditional or modern, repointing can breathe new life into its façade.
If you ignore the need for house repointing, it can lead to more severe issues in the long run. Cracked or missing mortar allows rainwater to penetrate the walls, leading to dampness and potential damage to the interior walls. Repointing also improves the insulation of the property, helping to regulate the temperature inside and potentially reducing your energy costs.
If you notice crumbling mortar or gaps that have appeared between bricks on the exterior of your property, it's time to consider repointing.
