Problems with poorly pointed brickwork

Poor brick pointing can lead to several issues that can affect the structural integrity and appearance of a brick structure. Some of the main problems associated with poor brick pointing include:

Water Infiltration:

Inadequate pointing allows water to seep into the joints between bricks. This can lead to damage such as erosion, efflorescence, and, in extreme cases, structural instability. Water infiltration can also contribute to mold growth and degradation of the mortar.

Structural Instability:

Over time, poor pointing can compromise the structural stability of a wall. When the mortar deteriorates or becomes dislodged, it reduces the support for the bricks, increasing the risk of collapse or shifting.

Freeze-Thaw Damage:

In colder weathers, water that penetrates poorly pointed brickwork can freeze during cold weather. When water freezes, it expands, and this expansion can lead to cracking and spalling of the bricks and mortar.

Aesthetic Issues:

Pointing is not only functional but also contributes to the overall appearance of a brick structure. Poorly done pointing can result in an unattractive and inconsistent finish, diminishing the visual appeal of the building.

Mortar Deterioration:

If the mortar used for pointing is of low quality or not properly mixed, it may deteriorate more quickly than expected. This can weaken the bond between bricks and compromise the overall strength of the structure.

Loss of Historical Character:

In historic buildings, improper pointing can result in a loss of the original character and aesthetics. The use of incorrect materials or techniques may not align with the building’s historical context and architectural style.

Increased Maintenance Costs:

Buildings with poor pointing often require more frequent maintenance and repairs. This can lead to increased costs over time as the structure continually degrades.

Dave and the team have undertaken a couple of separate jobs for us and each time they have been great at staying in touch and coming when they say they will. Clear quotes and the work all looks great. Dave was really helpful explaining what needed doing and why, as well as the most efficient way to go about it. I’ve been really impressed and i wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them

David Charlesworth

First class from start to finish.
Dave and his team are top quality tradesmen.
From the initial contact , fast response, honest quote with no hidden extras. Dave kept in touch throughout and put us at ease after we’d had some pretty bad experiences with tradesmen in the past. The work they carried out is exceptional, they were on time, spotlessly tidy and really polite. The two lads Dave had on the job were fantastic, they worked solidly for the time they were here and people have already commented on the high standard of work they carried out.
Cheers to Dave and the team. Would 100% recommend and I’ve already booked in for more work 👍👍

I’ve used Dave and Lee on my previous property. Once again the lads did a brilliant job on my current house. Apart from having attention to detail and delivering first rate work, they work hard, keep the place clean, get work done efficiently and always aim to please.

Jill Taylor

Dave and his honest, hardworking, friendly, professional team have done a superb job pointing the brickwork on our small block of 6 flats. The place looks transformed and we are looking forward to them coming back to complete the walls in less urgent need of repair. Grinding and pointing is a messy, dusty (and sometimes noisy) job but the team cleared up and hosed down at the end of each day, leaving everything looking very tidy. A good job exceedingly well done for a competitive price. Can’t recommend highly enough.

I have had Grind And Point repoint the front face of my house. I am very pleased with the end result. The house looks much neater and far more presentable than it did. I am so pleased with the outcome that I am rehiring them to repoint the Gable end of my house to match the front face.

Lynn Clayton

Had a fantastic first class experience with Dave and his team. I was having the red paint taken off the front of my house and repointed. Excellent from start to finish. Good workers, very high standard, got on with the job and cleaned up after themselves every night. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending these guys…….. you wont be disappointed 🙂

Neil Royle

Cannot speak any higher about Dave & Lee from Grind & Point. Their work was absolute quality, they always arrived prior to the time they said they’d be there, they always cleaned up at the end of the day (including neighbours houses and cars) and on top of that, both were polite and could hold a conversation.
As a result of having their own scaffold tower, they were also a lot cheaper than their nearest competitor.
Great job, would definitely recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

Sophie Furukawa

Dave and his team have done an incredible job on our house. The finished job is so neat, the lengths they went to to not only tidy our garden and drive but also the neighbours post grinding was incredible and they are just a lovely bunch of people. We would 100% recommend them.

Gerard Clarke

The house looks great. We had the front and gable pointed and chemical cleaned. Our neighbour had used Grind and Point a couple of years ago and we were impressed. Great lads, very professional from start to finish. Have had a few enquires from neighbours having seen the final result. Thank you Dave, Lee and Dave. Margaret and Gerard Clarke.

Alan White

Used Dave and his team to replace some bricks and repair some pointing on three exterior walls. Did a really good job, they were very professional, hard working and tidied up after themselves. Would highly recommend.
