Compared with cement repointing and sand repointing, this service is superior in design and offers a traditional aesthetic, good moisture management and full breathability. Lime mortar repointing is still a time-honoured form of craftmanship but now employs modern tooling.
This allows us to deliver cleaner, more precise workmanship.
The Lime Mortar Repointing Process
Importantly, you should always consider using a specialist for works of this nature and Lime Mortar Repointing Ltd is more experienced in this field than a standard brickwork company. Whether you need us to work on a one-off domestic job or run construction services of your own, we deliver an outcome built around your personal requirements.
The lime mortar repointing process runs as follows:
Preparation
Masonry is inspected to assess condition and identify fragile areas before work begins, and we put the equipment and tools into place.
Mortar Removal
Using an angle grinder, we remove failed mortar to the correct depth and take care not to cause added damage to the surrounding masonry.
Joint Cleaning
Brushes and dust extractors are used to clean the joints and a water solution is sprayed to remove residues, and create a stronger bond.
Mortar Mixing
Typically using a NHL 2 or NHL 3.5 binder, based on the exposure of the substrate, a mix is prepared onsite in the correct consistency.
Joint Repointing
The lime mortar repointing process sees a mix packed into the joints slightly proud of the surface, leaving material for the finishing.
Finishing
Once a lime mortar can resist a hard thumbprint, joints are finished to the required profile. Brushes are used to give mortar a texture.
Product Curing
Time is assigned for lime mortar to cure and, in warmer weather, our personnel return to mist-spray the joints to reduce rapid drying.
