Repointing and brickwork repairs by a team that lays brick for a living: old mortar out, the right mix in, matched to the wall. Around ten miles northeast of our base.
Repointing for Homes in Cannock
Cannock brick spans pit cottages to last year’s estates, and its repointing needs follow the eras: the old terraces want matched, sympathetic work on soft-fired brick; the mid-century streets need their weather gables and garden walls kept ahead of frost; the newer estates mostly need their exposed details, plinths, soldier courses, screen walls, tidied as the lean original mortar opens.
We cover Cannock and the surrounding area: Town centre, Hednesford side, Chadsmoor, Bridgtown, Heath Hayes and beyond (WS11, WS12).

How It Works
Repointing in Cannock, FAQs
Built together, weathered together, most estate garden walls went up with the houses and share their mortar and exposure, so they fail on one clock. Group repointing along a street is efficient and we will quote it that way if neighbours are interested.
Clearly, compare the west face of a Pye Green gable with its sheltered twin at Bridgtown and the difference is years. It just means higher streets should check their weather faces a little sooner, and we will tell you honestly what yours shows.
Run a key along a mortar joint. If it crumbles out sandy, or you can see gaps and shadows between the bricks, the pointing is past its best. Damp patches on inside walls and green staining on the outside are the other common giveaways.
It depends on the wall area, how high the work is and how hard the old mortar is to get out. A patch under a window is a different job to a whole gable end. We quote per job after a free look, so you get an exact written price before anything starts.
We mix to match. New pointing is always a touch fresher than hundred-year-old joints on day one, but we match the sand, colour and joint style so it blends in as it weathers rather than standing out in stripes.
