Pointing

Sometimes mortar joints simply fail. Once joints deteriorate, they allow water in, which freezes, expands, and causes more damage. We can grind out the failed joints and re-point them to restore their original look.

Pointing & Mortar Joint Repair in London, Ontario

Mortar holds your brick or stone wall together. When it deteriorates — whether from age, weather, or water — the strength and appearance of the entire wall is at risk. Re-pointing replaces failing mortar with fresh, properly matched material so your wall stays solid and watertight.

Why Pointing Matters

  • Failed joints let water into the wall, leading to spalling and brick damage.

  • Soft or missing mortar weakens the wall structurally.

  • Old, dark, crumbling joints make a building look tired and neglected.

Our Pointing Process

  • Joint grinding — We carefully grind out failed mortar to a proper depth without damaging the surrounding brick or stone.

  • Mortar matching — We mix mortar to match the existing colour and composition. On older homes, this matters — modern mortar is often too hard for soft historical brick.

  • Tooling the joints — We finish the joints to match the original profile (concave, flush, weathered, etc.), so the repair looks consistent with the rest of the wall.

Whether it's a small section or your entire façade, we'll restore your pointing so the wall reads clean and stays protected.
