The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten... The biggest investment you will ever make will be in bricks and mortar.
When it comes to lime mortar repointing and working on old buildings it is not a job we recommend you do yourself or a general builder. This work must be carried out by a time-served specialist, or you risk having irreversible damage caused that can potentially lower the value of your property. To do a good repoint or repair involves skill, understanding, and patience. It is not a job to be rushed.
Costing will vary from property to property and the work involved. Many things must be factored in.
- Ease of access
- scaffolding/tower required
- The mortar to be removed
- The building shape
- The property's age
- The time of year
