Repointing
Repointing in Southampton & Hampshire
Repointing is one of the most important — and most frequently neglected — elements of property maintenance. As mortar joints weather, erode and crack over time, they allow water into the wall structure, causing damp, staining, frost damage and ultimately structural deterioration. Professional repointing restores the weatherproofing of the wall, arrests the deterioration and significantly extends the life of the masonry. Third Generation Construction carries out repointing across Southampton and the whole of Hampshire.
Hampshire's varied masonry — brick, natural stone and the county's distinctive flint work — requires different mortar specifications and repointing techniques for each material. Using the wrong mortar on a flint or stone wall causes more damage than the original erosion. Third Generation Construction's three generations of Hampshire construction experience means we understand the right approach for each material and each property.
