Why Abbey Repointing
We open the joints properly. No quick smear over the face.
Plenty of jobs are "fixed" by smearing fresh mortar over old, failing pointing. It looks fine for a season, then fails. We do it the slow, correct way — and we'll tell you honestly what your wall actually needs.
The right mortar for the building
Lime, hybrid or cement matched to your property's hardness, age and exposure — never forced.
Honest advice, even when it's “leave it”
We won't sell weatherproofing, cavity removal or tie replacement you don't need.
