Brick and stone repointing in Belfast
Neat joints, the right mortar, and a tidy job.
What we do
Pointing that keeps water out and the brick looking itself
We rake out failed joints and pack them properly — not a smear over the top. Mortar is mixed to suit the wall, not whatever is cheapest that day.
Lime pointing
Traditional lime mortar for older brick and stone, finished flush and brush. It lets the wall breathe, moves with the building, and is the right choice for most Belfast terraces and period homes.

Cement pointing
Neat, durable cement joints for later brickwork and modern builds. Bucket-handle finish as standard, matched to the original work.

Chimney stacks
Repointing, flaunching and making good on stacks that take the worst of the weather. Stops water getting into the roof space.

Patio pointing
Joints raked out and packed on brick and stone paving so weeds stay out and the surface stays even underfoot.

Questions
Before you lift the phone
How much does repointing cost in Belfast?
It depends on the wall, the mortar, access and how far the old joints have gone. A small patch is one price; a full elevation with scaffold is another. Send a photo and the postcode and we will give a written figure — no call-out charge for a quote.
Lime or cement — which does my house need?
Most older Belfast and Glengormley houses with solid walls need lime. It lets the brick breathe. Later cavity-wall houses and harder brick often take a cement mix. We look at the wall, not the cheapest bag. Putting cement on a lime wall is a common way to trap damp.
What finish do you use?
Lime work is flush and brush as standard. Cement work is bucket handle unless the original joints were weather-struck or flush and you want them matched. We will say which before we start.
How long does a job take?
A chimney or a single wall can be days. A full house is usually one to three weeks, weather depending. Lime needs time to go off — we do not rush a wall that has to last.
Do you need scaffolding?
Anything above a safe reach needs a tower or scaffold. That cost is in the quote, not added on the last day. Chimneys almost always need proper access.
Do you take the waste away?
Yes. Old mortar is bagged and taken off site. Paths and gardens are left clean at the end of each day, not just on the last afternoon.
