Repointing

Cement Mortar Repointing

Quick-setting, durable cement mortar repointing for modern brickwork — a strong, cost-effective solution for everyday masonry.

Modern mortar mixes are made with Portland cement and typically the fine-grain sand available at any builders' merchants. A cement-based mortar is quick-setting, inexpensive and very strong. Working with a cement-based mortar is also far less labour-intensive than working with lime mortar, which is why these qualities fit in well with modern building practices.
