Repointing is the process of removing deteriorated mortar from the joints of brickwork or stonework and replacing it with fresh mortar. It's one of the most important maintenance jobs you can do for your Staffordshire & Cheshire property — protecting the structure from water ingress, frost damage and further deterioration.
At ArcLine Building, part of ArcLine Group, we carry out professional repointing across Staffordshire & Cheshire and Staffordshire. Our experienced team understands the different mortar types, joint profiles and techniques required for properties of all ages — from Georgian townhouses to modern homes.
Getting the mortar mix right is critical, particularly on older Staffordshire & Cheshire properties. Many houses built before 1930 were constructed with lime mortar, which is softer and more flexible than modern cement mortar. Using cement mortar on a lime-built property can trap moisture inside the bricks, causing them to deteriorate faster. We always use the appropriate mortar for your property's age and construction.
Our repointing process begins with careful raking out of the old, deteriorated mortar to the correct depth — typically 15-20mm. We then apply fresh mortar, matching the colour and joint profile of the original pointing. The result is a clean, weather-tight finish that protects your walls and restores the property's appearance.
Full house repointing in Staffordshire & Cheshire typically takes 1-3 weeks depending on the size of the property and the condition of the existing mortar. We work methodically across each elevation, ensuring consistent quality and finish throughout. Scaffolding is included in our quotation where needed.
Partial repointing is often the most cost-effective approach when only certain areas of your Staffordshire & Cheshire property are affected. We assess which sections need attention, carry out targeted repointing and ensure the new work blends seamlessly with the existing pointing.
Stone wall repointing requires particular skill and the right mortar choice. Natural stone properties across Staffordshire are often bonded with lime mortar and have irregular joints that need sensitive treatment. We repoint stone walls using appropriate lime mortars and traditional techniques that respect the building's character.
Chimney repointing is one of the most common repointing jobs we carry out in Staffordshire & Cheshire. Chimneys are exposed to the worst weather conditions and their mortar deteriorates faster than the rest of the house. We scaffold safely, rake out the joints and repoint using weather-resistant mortar — preventing leaks and extending the chimney's lifespan.
Signs that your Staffordshire & Cheshire property needs repointing include visible mortar erosion, missing mortar, damp patches on internal walls, crumbling joints and mortar that falls out when you poke it. If you notice any of these signs, it's worth getting a professional assessment before the problem worsens.
ArcLine Building is Checkatrade approved with a 10/10 rating. We provide free assessments and detailed quotations for all repointing work in Staffordshire & Cheshire. Our team works neatly, respects your property and delivers a finish that protects your home for years to come.
❌ Mortar crumbling and falling out of brick joints
✅ We rake out the deteriorated mortar to the correct depth and repoint with fresh, colour-matched mortar appropriate to your property's age.
❌ Damp patches on internal walls near repointed areas
✅ Often caused by cement mortar used on a lime-built property. We remove the incompatible mortar and repoint with appropriate lime mortar to allow the wall to breathe.
❌ Previous repointing that looks wrong or doesn't match
✅ We carefully remove the mismatched pointing, colour-match the mortar and reprofile the joints to blend with the original work.
❌ Stone walls with deteriorating lime mortar joints
✅ We repoint with appropriate hydraulic lime mortar, maintaining the correct joint profile and allowing the stonework to breathe naturally.
❌ Chimney letting in water due to failed mortar joints
✅ We scaffold safely, rake out and repoint the chimney stack with weather-resistant mortar — the most common cause of chimney leaks.
