Facade repointing — Facade specialist — Professionals
Repointing enquiries require a condition-led area schedule and a compatible material approach. Providers should distinguish local joint failure from wider defects, agree samples and avoid treating a whole-facade renewal as the default solution.
Service scope
Repair or renewal of mortar joints in a defined brick or stone facade where assessment shows that work is needed. The mortar and finish must be compatible with the existing wall; complete repointing is not automatically justified by age or an uneven appearance.
What is normally included
- Assessment of mortar-joint condition
- Specified local or wider repointing
- Agreed joint finish and sample areas
What is not included
- Replacement of damaged masonry units unless listed
- Structural movement repair implied by new pointing
Qualification checks
- Identify masonry and existing mortar
- Assess which joints need repair
- Review moisture or movement concerns
- Agree mortar and finish specification
- Confirm access and protection requirements
Quote guidance
State local or measured-area quantities, access and sample work. Explain whether brick replacement, defect investigation or conservation advice is excluded, so customers can compare like-for-like joint repairs rather than different assumptions about total renewal.
Lead risks
- Hidden joint defects may appear during closer inspection
- Appearance requests can conflict with compatible repair choices
