Repointing Brickwork
Repointing Brickwork to Protect Rooflines, Chimneys, and Gable Ends
At DB Roofing and Building Maintenance, we carry out professional repointing brickwork around rooflines, chimneys, gable ends, and other exposed areas of your home. Cracked or crumbling mortar can let in water, weaken the structure, and cause long-term damage — especially where brickwork meets the roof. We repoint using high-quality mortar for a clean finish and long-lasting results, backed by our 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Why Repointing Matters for Your Roofline
Over time, the mortar that binds bricks together can deteriorate due to wind, rain, frost, and general ageing. This is especially common around chimneys, parapet walls, gable ends, and above fascia boards — all areas that are exposed to the elements and directly connected to the roof.
If left untreated, failing mortar can lead to loose bricks, internal damp, and even structural issues. Our brickwork repointing service restores strength and weather protection to your roofline, helping to avoid more costly repairs down the line.
Our Repointing Brickwork Services Include:
- Full or partial brick repointing for roof-adjacent walls
- Gable end repointing for pitched roofs
- Chimney repointing and flaunching repairs
- Removal of damaged, soft or missing mortar
- Fresh mortar joints applied to match your existing finish
- Stabilising loose bricks during repointing
- Crack repairs and patch repointing
- Waterproofing options available (if requested)
- Clean, tidy finishes and full waste removal
All work is completed by David, the owner, using durable, weather-resistant mortar matched to your home’s existing colour and style.
