Brick Cleaning
Environmentally responsible brick cleaning services that remove soot, algae, and weathering stains without damaging masonry surfaces. We employ gentle yet effective techniques suitable for both listed buildings and contemporary structures, restoring original brick appearance while maintaining material integrity through non-abrasive methods.
Conservation Repairs
Precision conservation repairs for listed buildings and period properties. Our specialists match original materials and techniques exactly, working within strict heritage guidelines to preserve architectural authenticity. Services include matching historic mortar mixes, replicating traditional pointing styles, and repairing damaged brickwork using conservation-approved methods.

Traditional tuckpointing service creating crisp, uniform joints through dual-colour mortar application. Our craftsmen apply colour-matched mortar beds followed by contrasting lime putty lines, achieving the distinctive tuckpointed finish that enhances brickwork aesthetics while providing weather-resistant protection for both new and historic masonry.

This historically accurate method involves precise joint profiling to create sloped mortar lines that enhance weather resistance while maintaining traditional appearance, particularly suited to exposed elevations and heritage properties requiring authentic restoration.
Questions
What is brick pointing?

Why is brick pointing important?
Proper pointing prevents water ingress that causes structural damage, protects internal finishes, and maintains a building's visual appeal through consistent mortar appearance.
How often should brick pointing be done?
Typically every 25-50 years depending on exposure conditions, though our inspections identify specific requirements based on mortar condition and building age.
What mortar types do you use?
We match original materials exactly, primarily using traditional lime mortars for heritage properties and appropriate modern equivalents where required for contemporary performance standards.
Can you work on listed buildings?

Mike and his lads managed to fit us in despite the cold. Good bunch of lads and they worked hard to get the full front of our house, with chimney, done in 2 days. Fair price too. I would recommend them

Had the front of our Victorian house re-pointed. Really pleased with the service provided and the end result. Mike always responded v quickly and him and the rest of the team were all really professional, polite and reliable. For a messy job, they kept it as clean as possible throughout and cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each day.

The work was professionally performed, on time and very happy with the results. The team were extremely polite, trustworthy, worked very hard and efficiently. The clean up process at the end was the icing on the cake. A neighbour commented that the house looked like a new build. Its just shy of 100 years old! We had many quotes, it was the most expensive, but it was obvious we were paying for experience and professionalism. Excellent !

I have just had the whole of my house repointed by Quality Pointing and I couldnt be happier with the result. From start to finish Mike and his team have been brilliant. The team are so hardworking, thorough and friendly. They arrived promptly each day and thoroughly cleaned everywhere before leaving at the end of each day too. Initially, Id had a few quotes from different companies, but Mike made me feel at ease from the start and communicated with me about everything throughout. Id highly recommend Quality Pointing to anyone. The job has improved the look of the house immensely and I
