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 twenty minutes southeast of our base.
Repointing for Homes in Wednesbury
Wednesbury’s brickwork carries market-town pride, moulded string courses, arched openings and polychrome details on the Victorian streets, solid municipal work between, and it repays proper repointing. We match mortars by age and colour, keep joint profiles true to each building, and repair dressings and arches with the respect civic-era brickwork deserves.
We cover Wednesbury and the surrounding area: Church Hill, Market Place area, Wood Green, Kings Hill edge, Mesty Croft and beyond (WS10).

- Old mortar ground out to a sound depth, not skimmed over

How It Works
Repointing in Wednesbury, FAQs
Yes, moulded and contrasting brick details can be repointed carefully and individual eroded units replaced with matched specials or reclaimed stock. It is slower work than plain walling and worth it, those bands are what lift the street.
In Wednesbury, the hill-facing and west elevations almost always lead, they take the weather. We survey all four, tell you honestly which can wait, and quote them separately so the urgent faces get done without paying for the patient ones.
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.
