Chimney Repointing

Chimney repointing involves renewing the mortar joints between bricks or stones on a chimney stack where the original mortar has cracked, loosened, or worn away due to weather exposure. Over time, rain, frost and wind erode mortar, allowing water to seep into the structure.

Repointing fills these gaps with fresh mortar, restoring stability and weatherproofing. This prevents issues like damp patches, internal damage, brick spalling or in severe cases, structural failure or collapse. Left untreated, a deteriorating chimney can pose serious safety risks.

At Midway, repointing is typically carried out during the summer months when dry, warm conditions help the new mortar cure properly and prevent moisture-related issues. Regular maintenance like this keeps your chimney safe, secure and long-lasting.
