Pointing & Repointing Specialists in Hammersmith, West London

Mortar joints are the first line of defence in any brick structure. In Hammersmith’s Victorian terraces and Edwardian homes, traditional lime mortar was used to allow masonry to breathe and adapt to minor structural movement.

 

Over time, exposure to Thames-side moisture, pollution, and freeze-thaw weather cycles causes mortar to deteriorate. When joints fail, water penetration begins — often leading to damp, cracked brickwork, and long-term structural issues.

Why Repointing Is Essential in Hammersmith

Riverside exposure in Hammersmith can accelerate mortar erosion, particularly where cement has been used previously.
