Specilaist Pointing & repointing of brick, stone and patios in stratford upon avon, warwickshire

M Build undertake a lot of specialist pointing jobs in and around leamington , stratford upon avon and nationwide.

In all masonry walls (brick, stone or block), the exposed face of the mortar joint is subject to gradual erosion due to rain, wind and wind- driven dust and grit. Frost attack also contributes to the breakdown of materials. Once the exposed face of the mortar has receded behind the outer wall face, the arises of the masonry become more vunerable to erosion. At some point the joints become so worn that water can penetrate and saturate the wall. The decision to repoint is most often related to some obvious sign of deterioration, such as disintegrating mortar, cracks in mortar joints, loose bricks or stones, damp walls, or damaged plasterwork. pointing in stratford upon avon
