What is Pointing?

Pointing is the mortar between bricks. Re-pointing involves renewing the pointing between the bricks using mortar. Newer properties typically have cement mortar but older buildings are more likely to have lime mortar. It is very important to use the correct type of mortar when re-pointing a building, particularly on older, solid wall properties.

Weathering and decay cause voids in joints between masonry over time and wears away the mortar. Re-pointing is essential to retain a building’s stability and appearance and protect against water ingress. Pointing provides an element of weatherproofing to a façade and is vital to the structural integrity of a building.

 

Pointing Styles
