Lime Repointing in Bristol

Newlands Stone & Build provides lime repointing in Bristol for suitable traditional stone and masonry walls. We have experience with lime pointing and broader stone repairs, allowing defective joints to be considered as part of the condition of the wall rather than as an isolated cosmetic issue.

Signs that masonry may need repointing

Open joints, loose mortar, cracking, eroded joint faces and recurring damp around exposed masonry can all indicate that the pointing needs attention. The wall should be assessed before work begins so that damaged masonry or movement is not overlooked.

Using an appropriate mortar

Traditional masonry is not always best served by a very hard modern mortar. Where lime is appropriate to the original construction, a compatible mortar can provide a more sympathetic repair and allow the wall to deal with moisture in the way it was designed to.

Repointing as part of a wider masonry repair

If stones are loose, damaged or displaced, repointing alone may not be enough. We can combine joint renewal with local stone repairs or rebuilding where required, helping ensure the finished work addresses the actual condition of the wall.
