Masonry Repointing
Repointing restores the integrity of your brick or stonework.
Overview
Over time, the mortar between bricks or stones can deteriorate due to weather and age, leading to structural issues and water infiltration.
Repointing involves removing damaged mortar and replacing it with new material to restore strength and appearance.
