Painting and external wall repairs

Repointing is the process of removing old, soft, loose, or deteriorated mortar and

replacing with new joints.

Removal of material from the joint cavity can be achieved by cutting, or raking using

utmost care not to destroy the edges of the surrounding masonry.

Each masonry unit whether brick, stone, or blockwork can be repointed to prevent

moisture penetration, heat loss, and damage to interior walls as it restores structural

effectiveness.

Repointing can be done by either 100% of all vertical and horizontal joint

replacement or defective areas only as required

MASTEX uses a specifically designed mortar mix from for each individual

contract. The mortar can be coloured, toned or mixed for a natural appearance to

blend in with the existing substrate.

One of the most overlooked parts of a property is the chimney stack, several tons in many instances, siting precariously

on the roof, a major source of damp entering the building if not in good condition. Just looking around in many parts of the

UK we see many chimney stacks with major joint erosion, leaning over due to mortar failer this can be very serious and

should receive urgent attention.

We offer a full chimney stack renovation service regardless of the external finish.....brick, stone, rendered, painted, or in

the case of unwanted stacks we can remove them completely.

This chimney stack on one of our contracts was in very bad condition, mortar joint erosion

and render cracked..........allowing water to enter the building .

The joints was repointed render replaced and a protective coating applied covering the entire

stack eliminating any further damp entering.The bricks was repointed and coated with a clear

silicone sealer to seal them.

stone finish, but maybe due to severe erosion or damage its impractical to repoint.

of real brick or stone.
