Repointing

Repointing, also known as pointing or tuckpointing, is the process of renewing the external portion of mortar joints between bricks, stones, or other masonry materials. Over time, mortar joints can deteriorate due to weathering, moisture, and other factors, leading to cracks, gaps, or crumbling mortar. Repointing is essential for maintaining the structural integrity and weather resistance of masonry structures.

Repointing is a skilled task that requires attention to detail and knowledge of masonry techniques. Properly executed repointing can improve the appearance, stability, and weather resistance of masonry structures, extending their lifespan and reducing the risk of water damage or structural failure. It is often performed by experienced masons or contractors with expertise in masonry restoration and preservation.
