Repointing Brixton

Repointing Brixton

Repointing is one of the most effective ways to ensure the brickwork of your Brixton property remains safe, secure and watertight. Fortunately, there are many brickwork firms that specialise in repointing in Brixton, so you’re always likely to be able to find a contractor who can come to complete the work.

Most Brixton repointing firms will also offer a range of other services, designed to work in conjunction with repointing to maximise the life of your brickwork. These might include the following:

• brick cleaning: this could be done with a pressure washer or by applying a solution of hydrofluoric acid. Together with repointing, this can make the exterior of your home take on a whole new lease of life.
• brick replacements: a Brixton repointing contractor will sometimes find that individual bricks have become damaged beyond repair. Where this is the case, they can expertly remove the damaged bricks and replace them with new ones that have been sourced to blend perfectly with the rest of the wall.
• damp injections: depending on the nature of your property, a Brixton repointing firm may also be able to inject a damp-proof course to treat and prevent rising damp.
• repointing with a lime mortar: this is often appropriate in older buildings, and is a specialist technique that some Brixton repointing firms will be adept in.
