Brick Repointing
Brickwork naturally weathers over time, and failing mortar joints can quickly lead to damp, structural issues, and visible deterioration. At S.J. Lewis Repointing Services, we provide expert brick repointing across Oxfordshire, restoring the strength, appearance, and longevity of both modern and historic masonry. Whether your property is Victorian, Georgian, Edwardian, or later, our workmanship ensures a clean, durable, and authentic finish.
🧱 Precision Brick Repointing for Period & Modern Homes
Mortar joints are the first line of defence against weathering. When they fail, water penetrates the brickwork, causing damage that worsens over time. We remove defective mortar with care, avoiding damage to surrounding brick, and repoint using the correct materials and joint profiles to match the original construction. The result is a crisp, long‑lasting finish that enhances both protection and appearance.
🌿 Traditional Lime Mortar for Heritage Brickwork
For older properties, especially those built before the 1920s, lime mortar is essential.
We use breathable lime mixes that allow moisture to escape naturally, preventing trapped damp, brick spalling, and long‑term structural issues. Every mix is matched to the building’s age, colour, and texture to ensure a seamless, heritage‑appropriate result.
🛡️ Protecting Your Brickwork for Decades
Professional brick repointing helps to:
- Prevent water ingress and damp
