Chimney Repointing London

The process of retouching and renewing the external joints of brickwork is known as repointing. When a building exhibits masonry construction, There arise a need of repointing over a period of time. This is due to the climatic factors, weather changes and biological activities.

The structure of chimney often exhibits brickwork. This means that over a certain period of time, the joints of brickwork weaken or deteriorate. This may be a consequence of weathering or decay which makes voids in the joints of brickwork. If left unattended, these voids allow undesired traffic in the structure.
