Expert Pointing

At Kerr Stone Services, we take pride in offering expert pointing solutions that not only enhance the visual appeal of your property but also ensure its structural integrity. With over four decades of experience in stone craftsmanship, our team is dedicated to delivering top-notch pointing services tailored to meet the unique needs of each client.

Pointing is essential for maintaining the structural integrity and weather resistance of private residencies, historical buildings, such as castles, churches and stately homes, as well as public and commercial structures, including schools, libraries and offices. Infrastructure such as bridges, tunnels and retaining walls also rely on pointing for durability. Additionally, landscape features like stone walls, memorials and fountains benefit from pointing to preserve their strength and appearance.

Comprehensive Pointing Services

Our range of pointing services is designed to address various aspects of masonry work:

  • Lime pointing – specialising in traditional lime mortar techniques, we offer lime pointing services ideal for historic and period properties. Lime mortar is breathable and flexible, allowing for natural movement and moisture evaporation, which is crucial for the preservation of older structures.
  • Brick pointing – over time, the mortar between bricks can deteriorate, leading to structural vulnerabilities and an unsightly appearance. Our brick pointing services involve carefully removing the old mortar and applying new, matching mortar to restore the strength and beauty of your brickwork.
  • Pointing cement – for modern constructions, we utilise high-quality cement-based mortars that provide robust and durable joints. Our team ensures that the pointing cement is meticulously applied to withstand environmental factors and prolong the lifespan of your masonry.
  • Roof pointing – the mortar on your roof, especially around ridge tiles and valleys, plays a vital role in preventing water ingress. Our roof pointing services ensure that all roof mortar is intact and properly sealed, safeguarding your property from potential water damage.
  • Chimney pointing – chimneys are particularly susceptible to weathering due to their exposure. Our chimney pointing services involve renewing the mortar joints to prevent leaks, improve stability and extend the chimney’s lifespan.
