Professional Brick Repointing Services in Norwich
MHL Roofing extends our expertise beyond roofing to provide comprehensive brick repointing services throughout Norwich and Norfolk. Our skilled craftsmen restore and protect brickwork, ensuring your property maintains its structural integrity and visual appeal for years to come.
Expert Repointing for Lasting Protection
Mortar joints play a vital role in your property’s weather resistance and structural stability. Over time, weathering and natural deterioration cause mortar to crack, crumble, and fall away, leaving brickwork vulnerable to water penetration and frost damage. At MHL Roofing, we understand that quality repointing requires more than simply filling gaps – it demands careful material selection, proper preparation, and skilled application.
Our repointing services address both functional and aesthetic concerns. We match existing mortar colours and textures whilst using appropriate materials for your property’s age and construction. As affordable local roofing contractors who’ve expanded into complementary services, we bring the same commitment to quality and customer satisfaction to every repointing project.

Understanding When Repointing is Necessary
Signs Your Brickwork Needs Attention
Identifying deteriorating mortar early prevents costly structural damage. During our inspections across properties in Norwich, Great Yarmouth, and inland areas like Wymondham, we commonly observe several indicators that repointing is required.
Visible gaps where mortar has fallen out create obvious vulnerabilities. Water penetration through these gaps causes internal damage and accelerates brick deterioration. Crumbling or powdery mortar that’s easily scraped away indicates advanced deterioration requiring prompt attention. Cracks in mortar joints, whether from settlement or weathering, compromise the wall’s integrity and weather resistance.
We also look for less obvious signs like damp patches on internal walls, white salt deposits (efflorescence) on brickwork, and loose bricks that move when pressed. Properties in coastal locations like Cromer often show accelerated mortar deterioration due to salt air exposure.
The Consequences of Delayed Repointing
Postponing necessary repointing leads to escalating problems. Water penetration through failed mortar joints causes frost damage in winter, as trapped moisture expands when freezing. This freeze-thaw cycle rapidly deteriorates both mortar and bricks, potentially requiring extensive rebuilding rather than simple repointing.
Moisture penetration also affects internal conditions, causing damp problems, damaging plaster and decorations, and potentially affecting timber structures. We’ve seen properties in Diss and Dereham where delayed repointing led to significant structural repairs costing many times the original repointing quote.
Our Professional Repointing Process
Detailed Assessment and Preparation
Every repointing project begins with thorough assessment. Our experienced team examines the existing mortar condition, brick type, and overall wall structure. We test mortar composition to ensure replacement materials are compatible, preventing future damage from mismatched materials.
Preparation proves critical for lasting results. We carefully remove deteriorated mortar to the correct depth, typically 15-20mm, ensuring sound material remains. This process requires skill to avoid damaging surrounding bricks. Power tools can cause damage if used incorrectly, so we often employ traditional hand tools for delicate work, particularly on period properties in conservation areas like Aylsham.

Material Selection and Mixing
Mortar selection significantly impacts repointing longevity and appearance. Modern cement-heavy mortars can damage older brickwork by being harder than the bricks themselves. We specify appropriate mortar mixes based on your property’s age, exposure, and existing materials.
For Victorian and older properties common throughout Norwich, we typically use lime-based mortars that allow moisture movement and accommodate structural movement. These traditional mortars also provide the authentic appearance essential for period properties. Modern buildings may benefit from different specifications, and we adjust our approach accordingly.
Application Techniques
Our skilled craftsmen apply new mortar using techniques that ensure proper compaction and adhesion. We work in suitable weather conditions, avoiding extreme temperatures that affect curing. The mortar is carefully pressed into prepared joints, ensuring complete filling without voids.
Joint finishing receives particular attention. We match existing joint profiles, whether flush, weatherstruck, or recessed. This attention to detail maintains your property’s character whilst providing optimal weather protection. Properties in Beccles, North Walsham, and throughout our service area benefit from our meticulous approach.
Chimney Repointing
Chimneys face severe weather exposure, accelerating mortar deterioration. Our chimney repointing services address these vulnerable structures, often combining repointing with other repairs like replacing damaged bricks or reflaunching chimney pots. We understand that chimney stability affects roof integrity, making this work essential for overall property protection.
Working at height requires additional safety measures and expertise. Our team uses appropriate access equipment and follows strict safety protocols. We’ve successfully completed chimney repointing projects across Norfolk, from period properties in market towns to modern homes in suburban developments.
Garden Wall and Boundary Repointing
Garden walls and boundaries often receive less maintenance attention despite facing similar weather exposure. We provide comprehensive repointing services for all external brickwork, understanding that boundary walls contribute to property security and appearance.
These projects often reveal additional issues like failed copings or inadequate foundations. Our experience allows us to identify and address these problems, providing comprehensive solutions rather than superficial repairs. Recent projects in Fakenham and Hethersett demonstrate our ability to restore garden walls to full functionality and appearance.
The Benefits of Professional Repointing
Investing in quality repointing delivers multiple benefits beyond simple repair. Properly executed repointing enhances your property’s weather resistance, preventing water ingress and associated damage. This protection extends your brickwork’s lifespan significantly, avoiding premature replacement costs.
We believe that aesthetic improvements prove equally important. Fresh, properly finished pointing transforms your property’s appearance, enhancing kerb appeal and potentially increasing value. Our colour-matching expertise ensures repointed areas blend seamlessly with existing work.
Energy efficiency also improves when gaps and cracks are properly sealed. Reduced drafts and moisture ingress contribute to more comfortable internal conditions and potentially lower heating costs. These benefits make repointing a sound investment in your property’s future.
