BRICK REPOINTING NEWCASTLE
Moisture Mend provides professional brick repointing in Newcastle and surrounding areas, repairing deteriorated mortar joints that can leave external walls vulnerable to weather and moisture penetration. Where defective pointing is contributing to internal damp, we can address the external problem as part of a wider moisture-control solution.
BRICK REPOINTING SERVICES IN NEWCASTLE
Mortar joints form an important part of a brick wall, but exposure to the weather can cause them to deteriorate over time. Moisture Mend provides brick repointing across Newcastle, North Tyneside, Northumberland and Sunderland, helping restore affected masonry and address defects associated with water ingress.
DETERIORATED MORTAR REPAIRS
Cracked, loose or weathered mortar can leave gaps within external brickwork. Our Brick Repointing service replaces deteriorated mortar where required, restoring affected joints and helping improve the condition of the external wall.
EXTERNAL WALL REPAIRS
Defective pointing may be one of several external problems contributing to moisture penetration. Our External Wall Repairs address relevant defects affecting walls and masonry where these are allowing rainwater or moisture into the property.
PENETRATING DAMP REPAIRS
Where deteriorated pointing has contributed to moisture appearing internally, our Penetrating Damp Treatment services can address the wider damp problem alongside the necessary external remedial work.
REPOINTING BRICKWORK TO HELP PREVENT WATER INGRESS
Mortar between bricks is continually exposed to rain and changing weather conditions. As joints deteriorate, cracks and gaps can develop that leave parts of the external wall more vulnerable to water penetration.
Moisture Mend combines repointing with specialist damp expertise. Where defective mortar is contributing to penetrating damp, the external masonry problem can be addressed alongside appropriate internal damp treatment and associated repairs where required.
EXTERNAL DAMP EXPERTISE
We understand how defects in external masonry can contribute to moisture problems appearing inside a property.
REPOINTING & DAMP REPAIRS
Where water ingress has already caused internal damage, external repointing can be combined with appropriate penetrating damp and plaster repairs.
WHY CHOOSE MOISTURE MEND FOR BRICK REPOINTING?
Repointing can be particularly important where deteriorated mortar is allowing rainwater to penetrate an external wall. Moisture Mend considers the condition of the brickwork alongside any associated internal moisture problem, providing a connected approach to external and internal damp repairs.
BRICK REPOINTING NEWCASTLE – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Find answers to common questions about brick repointing in Newcastle, including deteriorated mortar, penetrating damp, external walls and associated repairs.
HOW DO I KNOW IF MY BRICKWORK NEEDS REPOINTING?
Visible gaps, cracks, loose mortar or badly weathered joints can indicate that repointing may be required. Where internal damp is also appearing on the corresponding wall, deteriorated pointing should be considered as a possible route for moisture.
CAN DAMAGED POINTING CAUSE DAMP INSIDE A PROPERTY?
Deteriorated mortar can leave external masonry more vulnerable to rainwater penetration. Where water is entering through defective joints, this can contribute to penetrating damp and damage to internal finishes.
WHAT DOES BRICK REPOINTING INVOLVE?
Repointing involves dealing with deteriorated mortar joints and replacing the affected mortar with an appropriate new finish. The work required depends on the condition and construction of the existing masonry.
WILL REPOINTING FIX PENETRATING DAMP?
It can form part of the solution where defective mortar is identified as a route for water ingress. Penetrating damp can have different causes, so the external wall and moisture problem should be assessed before deciding on the appropriate repairs.
CAN YOU REPAIR INTERNAL DAMP DAMAGE AS WELL?
Yes. Where external defects have caused penetrating damp, Moisture Mend can provide appropriate damp treatment alongside plaster repairs, rendering and re-skimming where required.
