Masonry Repointing
Repointing maintains the structural integrity and appearance of your chimney.
Masonry repointing involves replacing old or damaged mortar between bricks to maintain structure and prevent water ingress.
Over time, weather conditions can erode mortar, leading to loose bricks and potential structural issues.
