Cement Mortar Repointing
While lime mortar is essential for older, breathable buildings, many modern properties are built with stronger, more rigid materials that are fully compatible with cement mortar repointing. At S.J. Lewis Repointing Services, we provide high‑quality cement mortar repointing across Oxfordshire, restoring the strength, appearance, and weather resistance of brickwork on newer homes, extensions, commercial buildings, and hard‑wearing structures.
