REPOINTING
Repointing is the process of removing deteriorated mortar from between bricks and replacing it with new, compatible mortar to restore the strength and appearance of masonry. Sound mortar joints help protect brickwork from moisture penetration and maintain the overall stability of the structure.
Over time, mortar can deteriorate due to weather exposure, age, moisture, and general wear, leading to cracking, gaps, and weakened brickwork. If left untreated, failed mortar can result in water ingress, loose bricks, and more extensive structural damage.
At Clover Construction, we specialise in professional repointing services to restore deteriorated mortar joints and protect masonry from further weathering and moisture damage. By carefully removing failed mortar and replacing it with new, compatible mortar, we help preserve the strength, appearance, and longevity of brickwork while maintaining the integrity of the surrounding structure.
