Repointing in Royton
Professional repointing in Royton, Greater Manchester. Quick Point are local, fully insured masonry specialists - free quotes, guaranteed work and a tidy finish, every time.
Quick Point provide specialist repointing throughout Royton and the wider Greater Manchester area. Every job is carried out by experienced hands, fully insured and backed by our workmanship guarantee.
Pointing is the mortar between your bricks - and it’s the first line of defence against the British weather. Once it cracks, crumbles or falls out, rain gets into the wall, leading to damp, frost damage and spalled brick faces.
We rake out the failed mortar to a proper depth, brush out the joints, and repoint with a mix matched to your building - soft lime for older breathable walls, or sand-and-cement for modern cavity construction. The result is weather-tight, long-lasting and a noticeable lift to your property’s appearance.
We work on properties of every age - Victorian and Edwardian terraces, inter-war semis, period and listed buildings, and modern homes - right across Manchester, Cheshire and Tameside.
What's included
Getting the depth and finish right
Good repointing is as much about preparation as the mortar itself. We rake out the old joints to at least twice their width so the new mortar has something to grip, brush them out, and dampen the wall before we start. Skimping on depth is the single most common reason cheap repointing fails within a year or two.
We then finish the joints to match the rest of the property - weather-struck to shed water, flush for a clean modern look, or bucket-handle for a traditional profile. The colour and texture of the mortar is matched to the original so repairs blend in rather than standing out.
We cover the whole of Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Tameside - including Manchester, Salford, Stockport, Trafford, Altrincham, Sale, Ashton-under-Lyne and Hyde. Wherever you are, the survey and quote are free and the advice is honest. If we don't think the work is needed yet, we'll tell you.

Common questions
How much does repointing cost in Royton?+
Every job is priced after a free survey, so you get an accurate fixed price for your property in Royton rather than a guess over the phone. There's no charge for the quote and no obligation to go ahead.
Lime or sand-and-cement - which do I need?+
Older solid-wall homes were built to breathe and usually need soft lime mortar so moisture can escape. Modern cavity-wall homes are generally fine with sand-and-cement. We assess your wall and recommend the correct one - the wrong mortar can trap damp and damage brick.
