Don't Ignore It
Why Failing Mortar Is a Bigger Problem Than It Looks
Most homeowners don't think about repointing until water is coming through a wall. But by then, the damage — and the cost — has already multiplied. Here's what's actually at stake.
Water Ingress & Damp
Gaps in mortar joints are the primary entry point for rainwater. Once inside your walls, damp causes mould, rot, and damage to internal plasterwork — often costing thousands to fix.
Structural Integrity
Mortar holds your masonry together. As joints deteriorate, bricks begin to shift and loosen. On chimney stacks and gable ends, this becomes a genuine safety risk.
The Lime Mortar Problem
Older properties (pre-1930s) were built with soft lime mortar. Repointing them with modern cement traps moisture in the brick, causing spalling and irreversible damage. Lime mortar must be used — get it wrong and you'll cause more harm than the original decay.
Property Value
Visibly failing brickwork knocks value off your home and raises flags for surveyors. Fresh repointing is one of the most cost-effective exterior improvements you can make.

Common Questions
Repointing is typically priced per square metre. Costs vary depending on the size of the area, access requirements (scaffolding), and the type of mortar needed. Most residential jobs in the Aylesbury area range from £500–£2,500. We provide free, detailed written quotes — call us on 07704 038764.
If your property was built before 1930, you almost certainly need lime mortar. Using modern cement on older brickwork traps moisture inside the wall, causing bricks to crack and spall. We'll assess your property and advise the correct mix — it's one of the most important decisions in any repointing job.
When done correctly with the right mortar mix, repointing typically lasts 20–30 years or more. Poor work or wrong materials can fail within a few years — which is why choosing a specialist with the right qualifications matters.
Common signs include: crumbling or recessed mortar joints you can pick out with a key, visible cracks in mortar lines, damp patches on internal walls, or loose and wobbly bricks. If in doubt, we offer free surveys.
