Professional Repointing Services In Trowbridge

Mortar typically lasts 25 to 30 years before weather causes it to crack or crumble, letting water into the wall and leading to damp, frost damage, or structural movement. As an experienced roofing company in Trowbridge, we repoint brickwork and stone, and carry out repairs on heritage properties, replacing damaged mortar with material that matches the original.

Older, listed properties in Trowbridge town centre usually need lime mortar so the walls can breathe; newer estates typically just need standard brick repointing. We assess the property first, since the wrong mortar on an older building can trap moisture and cause more damage than it fixes.

Types of Repointing We Offer

As a major part of our full range of roofing services in Trowbridge, we repoint a wide range of brick, stone and heritage features, always matching the mortar and finish to the property 

  • Brick Repointing: We remove cracked or crumbling mortar joints between bricks and replace them with fresh material, restoring wall strength and stopping water ingress.
  • Lime Mortar Repointing: For older or listed Trowbridge properties, we use lime mortar mixed to let the brickwork breathe, protecting the building’s character rather than sealing it in with modern cement.
  • Chimney Repointing: Chimney mortar takes the worst weather exposure on a property. Our expert repointing team repoints stacks to restore stability and stop leaks developing around the chimney base.
  • Stone Repointing: We repoint stonework to match the existing texture and colour, keeping the building’s appearance consistent while restoring its strength.
  • Wall and Garden Repointing: Boundary walls, garden walls, and outdoor brick features are repointed to the same standard, ensuring they remain stable and weather-resistant year-round.

How We Handle A Repointing Job

  • Inspection: We check the extent of mortar damage, the wall material, and whether the property needs lime mortar or a standard mix.
  • Written quote: You get a clear, itemised quote before any work starts, covering the area to be repointed and the mortar type used.
  • Raking out: Damaged mortar is carefully removed to the correct depth without damaging the surrounding brick or stone.
  • Repointing: Fresh mortar is applied and finished to match the existing joint style, so the repaired area blends in rather than standing out.
  • Clean-up and inspection: We clear debris and dust from the work area and check the finished joints before handover.

A typical single-wall repointing job takes one to three days depending on wall size and the extent of damage. Full-property repointing is quoted individually after inspection.

Everything You Need to Know About Repointing

Signs you need repointing include crumbling or missing mortar joints between bricks, damp patches on internal walls, and mortar that’s noticeably recessed relative to the brick face.

Repointing typically costs between £40 and £70 per square metre, depending on wall height, access, and whether lime mortar is needed. We provide a fixed, written quote after inspection.

Correctly applied mortar typically lasts 25 to 30 years before it needs attention again, though exposed walls facing prevailing weather may need repointing sooner.

Older properties, particularly those built before the 1920s or listed buildings, usually need lime mortar so the walls can breathe. Modern brick properties are typically fine with a standard cement-based mix.

If the damp is caused by water entering through failed mortar joints, yes, repointing stops it at the source. If the damp has a different cause, such as rising damp, a full damp survey is needed first.

We repoint chimney stacks, garden and boundary walls, and other brick or stone features, in addition to the main property walls.
