🔧 What Is Re-Pointing?
Re-pointing is the process of removing old, damaged, or deteriorating mortar from between bricks and replacing it with fresh mortar. Mortar joints often degrade due to:
01. Weather exposure (especially Brisbane’s heat and rainfall)
02. Salt attack
03. Structural movement
04. Poor original workmanship
Benefits of Professional Re-Pointing
Cracked or missing mortar weakens the wall’s strength. Re-pointing restores support and integrity.
Fresh mortar seals gaps and prevents water seepage, reducing the risk of dampness or mold inside walls.
Re-pointing gives your brickwork a clean, refreshed look – improving both curb appeal and property value.
Addressing mortar damage early can save you from expensive structural repairs down the line.
We use premium-grade mortar and proper curing techniques, ensuring the new joints last for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is brick repointing?
Brick repointing is the process of repairing or replacing deteriorated mortar joints between bricks. It can help restore the appearance and condition of masonry where the existing mortar has weathered or become damaged.
How do I know if my brickwork needs repointing?
Visible cracks, missing or deteriorated mortar, gaps between bricks and weathered joints can indicate that repointing may be required. A professional inspection can determine the condition of the existing masonry.
Can damaged bricks and mortar be repaired?
Yes. Depending on the condition of the wall, repair work may involve replacing damaged bricks, repairing mortar joints or rebuilding affected sections. The appropriate solution depends on the extent and cause of the damage.
Can old brickwork be restored instead of completely replaced?
In some situations, existing brickwork can be repaired or repointed rather than fully replaced. The condition of the wall should be assessed first to determine whether repair is suitable.
Can you match replacement bricks with existing brickwork?
Brick matching may be possible depending on the age, size, colour, texture and availability of the original brick. Matching materials can help new repairs blend with existing masonry.
Does repointing improve the appearance of a brick wall?
Yes. Deteriorated mortar can make brickwork look aged or poorly maintained. Repointing can refresh the appearance of mortar joints while addressing areas where the existing joints have deteriorated.
When should I arrange a brickwork inspection?
It is sensible to arrange an assessment when you notice deteriorating mortar, damaged bricks, cracks, movement or other changes in the condition of a masonry wall. Early assessment can help identify the appropriate repair approach.
