At Rhinopoint, we understand that older and traditional properties require the correct materials and methods to protect their brickwork.

For period and older properties originally constructed using lime mortar, we use traditional lime-based mortars and repointing techniques rather than simply replacing the joints with a hard modern cement mortar.

Lime mortar is more flexible and breathable than strong cement-based mortar, allowing moisture within the walls to evaporate naturally through the mortar joints. This is particularly important with older brickwork, where using an unsuitable hard cement mortar can contribute to trapped moisture and deterioration of softer bricks.

Before repointing, deteriorated or inappropriate mortar is carefully removed to a suitable depth while taking care not to damage the surrounding brickwork. The joints are then cleaned and prepared before the new lime mortar is applied, compacted and finished appropriately for the character and age of the property.

We also take weather conditions and curing into consideration, protecting newly applied lime mortar where necessary to prevent it from drying too quickly or being damaged by rain, frost or adverse weather.

Our aim is not simply to make old brickwork look better, but to preserve its character, allow the building to breathe and provide a durable repair using materials appropriate for the property.

Traditional methods. Quality workmanship.
