Repointing for Driveways, Patios and Brickwork in Southport

Worn, cracked or crumbling joints raked out and renewed — on driveways, patios and brickwork. Fresh mortar or jointing protects against weeds, water and damp, and restores a clean, crisp finish. Every quote is free and given face to face.

Why joints fail over time

The mortar and jointing between bricks and paving does more than look tidy — it seals the surface and holds everything together. Out in the weather, though, it slowly gives way. Rain works into the joints, frost freezes and expands it, and weeds root in the gaps and prise them wider. Once the pointing starts crumbling, water gets in behind it, and what began as a cosmetic problem turns into loose paving, spreading damp and weeds you can never quite get on top of.

What repointing involves
Common questions
What is repointing?

Repointing means removing the old, failed mortar or jointing from between bricks or paving and replacing it with fresh material. It restores the look of the surface and, more importantly, seals it back up against water and weeds.

How do I know if I need it?

Look for joints that are cracked, crumbling, sitting low or missing altogether, and for weeds or moss growing up through the gaps. Those are all signs the pointing has failed and water is getting in where it should not.

Why does pointing fail?

Weather is the main cause. Rain gets into tired joints, then frost freezes and expands it, breaking the mortar apart little by little. Weeds rooting in the gaps speed it up. Left alone, the problem only spreads.

Can you repoint driveways and patios as well as walls?

Yes. We repoint block paving and patio joints as well as brickwork, raking out the old jointing and renewing it for a clean, solid, weed-resistant finish.

How is repointing priced?

It depends on the area and the state of the existing joints, so we price each job individually — always with a free, no-obligation quote given face to face.
