What Causes Mortar Joints to Deteriorate?

Mortar joints can deteriorate due to moisture exposure, ageing lime mortar, incorrect previous repairs or structural wall movement. Early inspection helps determine whether repointing is required to restore strength and protect surrounding brickwork.

What is Mortar?

Mortar is the material that sits between the individual bricks of a wall and structurally holds all the bricks together. Mortar today is modernly made from a cement-like substance and is essential for all brick and mortar structures, especially during restoration or repair work. In earlier times, a lime substance was used to hold bricks together. Over the years, the lime mortar tends to break down more easily meaning your brick home can crumble, decay, or loosen with age. This can cause serious structural issues and can make a big impact on your home’s value, as well as your safety while living inside of it.

What is Mortar Repointing?

Mortar repointing is the standard method used when repairing deteriorated mortar joints in brickwork.

Mortar repointing, also known as brick pointing, mortar pointing or brick mortar repair, involves grinding out old joints and filling the decayed joints and gaps in between the bricks in a wall and injecting new mortar into these joints using specialized mortar tools leaving you with safer, stronger mortar. This operation is one that demands a high level of skill from a specially trained tradesman. Poor quality mortar pointing can cause further damage to your wall and may also look like a very obvious repair, which can decrease the value of your property.
