Stone Repointing

Stone repointing is the process of repairing the mortar joints between stones in masonry structures, such as walls, chimneys, and buildings. Mortar can deteriorate over time due to weathering, moisture, and movement, leading to gaps, cracks, and instability. Repointing involves removing damaged mortar and replacing it with new mortar that matches the original in composition, color, and texture. This restores structural integrity and enhances appearance. Skilled craftsmanship is required to ensure proper bonding with the existing masonry and preserve the structure's historical character.
