Repointing in Telford
Repointing and brickwork repairs by a team that lays brick for a living: old mortar out, the right mix in, matched to the wall. Half an hour west, strongest on the east side.
Repointing for Homes in Telford
East Telford’s brick tells its double story, volume-built estate walls whose lean original mortar is opening at the exposed details, and the old villages’ Victorian brick, laid over the coalfield with the quirks of worked ground beneath. We repoint each to its needs, matched modern mixes on the estates, softer sympathetic mortars on the terraces and chapels.
We cover Telford and the surrounding area: Priorslee, St Georges, Snedshill, Oakengates edge, Redhill and beyond (TF2, TF3).

What’s Included
The estates’ screen walls, plinth courses and garden dividers are the common early failures, small areas worth catching before frost enlarges them. The old-village walls get the fuller treatment their age has earned, including honest reading of any long-settled movement the mining past left behind.
- Repointing to house walls, gables and garden walls
- Old mortar ground out to a sound depth, not skimmed over
- Mortar colour and joint finish matched to the original
- Lime mortar used where older solid walls need it
- Spalled and cracked bricks cut out and replaced
- Chimney stacks repointed and rebuilt
How It Works
Repointing in Telford, FAQs
Yes, same-age walls fail together and repoint efficiently together, a street’s worth in one visit prices far better per household. One organiser with door numbers makes it happen.
Probably not, the coalfield left plenty of long-settled movement that wants proper repointing and nothing more. We read it honestly, and on the rare live suspect we will say engineer first, cosmetics second.
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.
