Local property types
Brick Repointing for Hampton homes
Hampton covers a broad mix of housing stock, from period Victorian and Edwardian properties through to more modern brick homes. We adjust materials, mortars and joint profiles to suit each property so the finished work looks and performs as it should.
We work across Hampton regularly and the wider South West London area every week. Local access, permits, waste and scaffold are all straightforward because we know the streets and the councils.

Pointing styles
Pointing styles we hand-finish in Hampton
Flush pointing
Mortar finished level with the brick face for a clean, modern look - common on contemporary brickwork and many stock brick facades.
Struck (weatherstruck) pointing
Joint angled so the top is recessed and the bottom flush - sheds water quickly, ideal for exposed elevations and traditional London terraces.
Heritage pointing
Period-correct profiles matched to the original hand of the wall - bucket-handle, tuck, or a specific historic finish on Victorian, Georgian and Edwardian homes.
Lime pointing
Soft, breathable lime mortar (NHL or hot lime) for pre-1919 and listed properties - protects soft brick and complies with conservation requirements.
Tuck pointing
Fine white lime 'ribbon' set into a coloured base mortar to imitate perfect thin joints - a specialist Georgian and early-Victorian finish we still hand-execute.
Our process
How we approach brick repointing in Hampton
Survey & sample
We assess the existing mortar, identify the right mix and prepare a small sample panel for your approval.
Rake out by hand
Failed mortar removed carefully - typically to a depth of at least twice the joint width - without damaging brick arises.
Mix & point
Fresh lime or specified mortar mixed on site, packed firmly into joints in stages, then finished to the original profile.
Cure & protect
Lime work is protected from sun, rain and frost during the slow carbonation period to ensure a strong, breathable finish.

Recent work
Brick Repointing we've completed in Hampton
We recently repointed the front and side elevations of a 1930s Tudor-style semi in Hampton, replacing cracked bricks and removing old cement patch repairs.
"Nick repointed the front & side walls of our 1930s semi in October 2024. Nick took great care preparing the walls, raking out all the old mortar which was heavily weathered and crumbling in places, replacing several cracked bricks and removing some previous work which had been patched with cement. Everything was washed down and left clean and tidy. The job was completed on time & to budget. We are delighted with the result."
