DPR Roofing: Specialized Pointing Services
Pointing—the mortar jointing between bricks or masonry units—is essential for maintaining the structural integrity and weather resistance of your chimney stacks, parapet walls, and gable ends. When mortar deteriorates, it allows water to penetrate the structure, leading to dampness, frost damage (spalling), and ultimately, destabilization of the brickwork. At DPR Roofing in Preston, we are expert masons specializing in professional repointing services, ensuring your property’s masonry is durable, watertight, and aesthetically preserved.

Why Quality Repointing is Essential
Mortar naturally degrades over time due to exposure to wind, rain, and freeze-thaw cycles. This deterioration creates pathways for moisture, leading to internal damp problems and the slow breakdown of the brick itself.
Proper repointing involves carefully removing the damaged, weathered mortar and replacing it with fresh, correctly mixed mortar. This process is crucial for:
Weatherproofing: Creating a tight seal that prevents water ingress.
Structural Stability: Stabilizing the individual bricks or stones within the wall.
Aesthetics: Restoring the clean, defined look of the masonry.
It is particularly critical for chimney stacks and high-level walls where consistent exposure to the elements accelerates degradation.
