Repointing Services for Old & New Builds
Crumbling mortar, damp patches or loose joints are all signs that your property may need repointing. If left unchecked, deteriorating mortar can lead to costly structural problems.
We specialise in carefully restoring and protecting stone and brickwork with professional pointing, using either traditional lime mortar for heritage properties or cement-based mixes for modern homes.
We offer
-
Full wall repointing and localised patch repairs
-
Traditional lime mortar for listed and period buildings
-
Modern cement repointing for newer homes and commercial properties
-
Clean, neat finishes that blend with your existing style
We’ve completed projects under the supervision of conservation officers and national park authorities, including the North York Moors, and consistently meet their strict quality and material standards.
FAQs
How do I know if my wall needs repointing or just a small repair?
We’ll assess the condition of your wall during a site visit and offer honest advice on whether a full repoint or a localised repair is needed. You’ll always receive a clear explanation and no-obligation quote before any work begins.
Can you match the mortar and stone to my existing building?
Yes. We’re highly skilled in matching mortar colour and texture, as well as sourcing stone that blends with your current façade or wall. The finished result will look natural and cohesive.
What if another builder did poor-quality pointing?
It’s a common issue, and one we often correct. We’ll remove the bad work, repoint the affected areas by hand, and deliver a clean, consistent finish that not only looks right but protects the structure properly.
Do you work on both modern and heritage properties?
Absolutely. We tailor our materials and methods to suit the property — from traditional lime pointing on listed buildings to cement-based repairs for newer homes and commercial builds.
Do you provide the stone or can you work with materials I already have?
We can supply the stone or work with what you've sourced, depending on the scope. We’ll assess suitability and make sure everything fits the design and structural needs of your project.

Our rear extension needed repointing and some minor stonework repairs. The team were punctual, respectful, and clearly knew what they were doing.
The final result was clean, consistent, and much better than we imagined. Great price for the quality of work. It’s rare to find this level of skill and reliability nowadays.

I had some badly weathered stone at the base of my house, and it was letting in moisture. Dean gave honest advice and fixed the problem quickly with neat, tidy repointing work.
It now looks good and should last for years. I’m glad I didn’t leave it any longer!

Dean sorted the front elevation of our 1930s semi. Some areas just needed patch repairs and others required full repointing.
He explained the difference and priced it fairly. The team worked around our schedule, and everything looks absolutely spot on. They even colour-matched the mortar so it blended perfectly.

Finding someone to take on our stone extension project was tough, especially with all the planning restrictions in our area. Dean came highly recommended, and he didn’t disappoint.
His knowledge of stone types, weathering patterns, and mortar matching was outstanding. He helped source appropriate materials, liaised with the planning team where needed, and then delivered a flawless repointing job. The extension now looks like it’s always been there. His team were professional, tidy, and genuinely passionate about doing the job properly. Very glad we went with D Ward Brickwork – they’re the real deal.

Dean’s work exceeded expectations. The house needed a lot of repointing, and some areas had been badly patched by a previous builder.
He removed the poor-quality work and carefully hand-pointed it using lime mortar, which now blends seamlessly with the original stone. The result is both visually striking and structurally sound. Communication was excellent, pricing was clear, and we appreciated the time taken to get everything just right. Absolutely top workmanship all round.

Our garage wall had been poorly pointed in the past, and it was crumbling in places. D Ward Brickwork came in, removed the damaged areas and fixed it up professionally.
You’d never know it had been patched – it’s seamless. Excellent finish and great value for money.

Can’t fault the work or the service. The old mortar had eroded badly and was letting water in through the walls.
Dean and his team replaced it using a lime mix and the difference is incredible. It’s more than just a visual improvement – the house feels warmer and dryer too. Great communication throughout, no mess left behind, and everything was done within the timeframe they quoted. Definitely recommended if you want proper craftsmanship.

What impressed me most about Dean and his team was their dedication to doing the job properly. We had a number of patchy, mismatched mortar repairs done by previous owners.
Dean took it all out, reworked the affected areas, and repointed with precision. The lime mix used was perfect for our old stone walls. The final look is natural, even and absolutely solid. They were respectful of our property and kept everything clean. Genuinely great people doing proper, old-school work. I won’t be using anyone else in future – this is craftsmanship you can rely on.

We needed urgent repointing on the rear elevation of our property, and Dean was the only one who responded quickly and gave a clear breakdown of costs. The team turned up on time, worked efficiently and left everything spotless.
The new pointing is neat, clean and completely blends in with the existing work. It’s such a relief to have it all sorted before winter. We’ll definitely call them again for other areas that need doing.

I’m genuinely impressed with the craftsmanship D Ward Brickwork brought to the job. They repointed two external walls of our property and it looks amazing – fresh, but still in keeping with the original style.
Communication was great throughout and they turned up exactly when they said they would. Really easy to deal with.

Our listed farmhouse needed specialist lime repointing and D Ward Brickwork came highly recommended by our surveyor. Dean carried out the work with incredible attention to detail, maintaining the character of the stone and ensuring the mortar matched exactly.
His knowledge and experience working on heritage buildings is obvious. The finish is clean but sympathetic to the building’s age. Everything was explained clearly, and we felt involved throughout the process. An excellent experience from start to finish.
Owen Talbot





From the initial quote to the final day, the service was excellent. We had several areas of mortar coming loose, especially on older parts of our home.
Dean used lime mortar and traditional tools, and the results were exactly what we hoped for. Brilliant job from a reliable team.
