Repointing

Traditional Lime Repointing

At Kerr Stone Services, we specialise in traditional repointing mortar services that preserve and enhance the structural integrity and visual appeal of your masonry. With over 40 years of experience in stone craftsmanship, our skilled team is dedicated to delivering high-quality repointing solutions tailored to the specific needs of your project.

Understanding Repointing

Repointing involves the meticulous process of removing deteriorated mortar from the joints of masonry structures and replacing it with new, compatible material. This essential maintenance practice addresses issues such as water infiltration, structural instability and the decline caused by ageing or damaged mortar.

Traditional mortar repointing is essential for maintaining the strength and weather resistance of various structures, including private homes and historic buildings, such as castles, churches and manor houses, as well as public and commercial properties, such as offices, schools and libraries. Many infrastructure projects, including bridges, tunnels and retaining walls, also require mortar repointing to preserve their structural integrity while allowing for natural movement. Additionally, traditional repointing helps protect and restore landscape features such as stone walls, monuments and fountains, ensuring they remain durable and true to their original construction.
