Repointing and brickwork repairs by a team that lays brick for a living: old mortar out, the right mix in, matched to the wall. Twenty minutes east, strongest on the west side.
Repointing for Homes in Walsall
Leather money built good brick, and west Walsall still shows it, terraces with dentil courses and polychrome bands, villa streets with real dressings, and the tough industrial walling of the old works. Our repointing respects the hierarchy: matched mortars and careful joints on the display frontages, honest robust work on the yard walls.
We cover Walsall and the surrounding area: Pleck, Alumwell, Birchills, Caldmore, Palfrey and beyond (WS1, WS2, WS4).

How It Works
Repointing in Walsall, FAQs
Yes, contrast bands and dentil details want joint-by-joint care with mortars matched to each brick colour, slower work that keeps the pattern crisp. It is exactly the kind of pointing we enjoy.
Yes, the surviving works walls and yard boundaries are tough brick worth keeping, and robust repointing suits them. Not every wall needs conservation ceremony; every wall needs the right mix, and we bring it.
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.
