Repointing in Malmesbury covers chimney stacks, ridge tiles, verge mortar and parapet masonry — the four most exposed mortar positions on a domestic roof. The medieval hilltop town and 1960s–80s estates stock generates the majority of calls. The critical issue is specification: using the wrong mortar causes more damage than no repointing at all, and it's the most common error by generalist contractors working in conservation areas.
We use NHL hydraulic lime mortar on all Malmesbury repointing work. Ridge tiles always receive purpose-made flexible ridge mortar — standard OPC at ridge level is too rigid and cracks within 5–10 years regardless of application quality. Conservation area and listed building work uses NHL lime throughout — never cement. All repointing work includes a full inspection of surrounding masonry and tiles to identify related issues.
"Chimney repointing with NHL lime — no cement used, mortar colour-matched to original. Conservation-appropriate work."
"Ridge repoint after multiple loose tiles found on survey. Flexible mortar throughout, all tiles re-bedded. Done properly."
"Verge mortar failing on gable end — tiles shifting at the edge. Raked and repointed with correct mortar. No more movement."
Chimney stack: £300–£600. Ridge: £25–£45 per metre. Verge: £150–£300. Flaunching: £200–£400. All include scaffold. Free written quote — call 01249 247 076.
