Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Ever had repointing done?
We need to get some repointing done on the back of our house. It's looking sorely in need of attention. Anyone have any experience of getting this done? Most importantly, can anyone recommend someone good to do it please?
many thanks!
many thanks!

Aha, I used to do a bit of this many many years ago (in a previous life lets say). It is pretty straight forward, first the old morter joints are raked out, any loose mortar has to be removed so the fresh mortar or (muck) adheres well into the joints.
It may sound odd, but try contacting a roofing company. They do alot of this type of work on parapet walls and chimneys, so they will possibly have someone they use, or possibly recommend someone they know. They generally price this by the Metre.
Good luck with it.
