Pointing service

What is pointing?

Pointing is the process of filling in the gaps between the stones or bricks on the exterior of a building. It is done using a mixture of cement, sand, and water. The pointing material helps to seal the gaps and prevent water from getting into the building. This helps to protect the building from water damage, such as rot and mold.

Why is it important to maintain pointing?

Pointing can last for many years, but it will eventually need to be repaired or replaced. If the pointing is not maintained, it can start to crack and crumble. This can allow water to get into the building and cause damage.

There are a number of benefits to maintaining the pointing on your house. These include:

• Water protection: As mentioned above, pointing helps to seal the gaps between the stones or bricks and prevent water from getting into the building. This helps to protect the building from water damage, such as rot and mold.

• Weather protection: Pointing also helps to protect the building from the weather. It can help to keep the building cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

• Increased durability: Pointing can help to increase the durability of the building. It can help to protect the building from the elements and make it more resistant to damage.

• Improved appearance: Pointing can also improve the appearance of the building. It can help to fill in the gaps and create a smooth, uniform surface.

How often should pointing be maintained?

The frequency with which pointing needs to be maintained will vary depending on the type of pointing material used, the climate, and the exposure of the building. In general, pointing should be inspected every few years and repaired or replaced as needed.
