Repointing in Pewsham covers chimney stacks, ridge tiles, verge mortar and parapet masonry — the four most exposed mortar positions on a domestic roof. The 1990s–2000s modern estate 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 mixed-era housing stock.
We use flexible polymer-modified mortar on modern brick, NHL lime on historic masonry on all Pewsham 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. All repointing work includes a full inspection of surrounding masonry and tiles to identify related issues.
"Ridge repoint with flexible mortar — correctly specified for modern brick. No cracks after two winters."
"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."
