Why Choose Us?
The Aline Construction Process for Lasting Masonry
Our repointing process is meticulous, prioritising the structural health of your walls. We begin by carefully raking out the old, decayed mortar to a depth of 12mm to 15mm, ensuring we do not damage the brick arris or edges. Our team employs modern dust-suppression techniques to keep your property clean during the works. Once the joints are prepared, we apply a fresh mortar mix, selected to perfectly complement the hardness and colour of your existing masonry. Whether your home requires a traditional lime mortar to allow the structure to breathe or a high-performance cement mix for added durability, we match the finish to your specific needs, including popular styles like bucket handle, flush, or weather-struck joints. We conclude with a thorough brush down and site clean, leaving your brickwork looking refreshed and secure.

Who We Are
Navigating Regulations and Structural Integrity
Professional repointing is more than just a cosmetic upgrade; it is a vital part of property maintenance that upholds your home's structural safety. Under UK Building Regulations Part A, maintaining the integrity of load-bearing walls is essential, and failed mortar joints can significantly weaken this capacity over time. If your property is a semi-detached home in Totton, our team is well-versed in the requirements of the Party Wall Act, ensuring that work on shared boundaries is conducted correctly and professionally. We handle the technical side of your project, providing the reassurance that your brickwork remains safe, dry, and compliant with all relevant safety standards throughout the process.
Trust is at the core of everything we do at Aline Construction. Our team carries the NVQ Level 2 in Bricklaying and holds Blue Skilled Worker CSCS cards, providing you with the peace of mind that your home is in the hands of qualified professionals. We operate with full public liability insurance, ensuring complete protection for your property. By choosing local specialists who understand the damp-prone nature of the Hampshire coastline and the New Forest, you are investing in a long-term solution that prevents internal damp repairs and boosts your kerb appeal. We take immense pride in our craftsmanship and our commitment to clear, professional communication.

Many homeowners ask how long repointing lasts, and when done professionally, it can provide decades of protection for your property. We are also frequently asked if we can match existing mortar colours, and the answer is yes; we take samples to ensure a seamless blend with your current facade. For those concerned about high-level work, such as chimney repointing, we have the experience to safely manage scaffolding and access requirements to ensure the job is completed without risk to your roof or gutters. If you are noticing salt staining, known as efflorescence, this is often a sign that your mortar has failed and is allowing moisture to enter; we recommend a site inspection to assess the severity.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Brickwork Repointing in Totton Questions
Answers to common questions about our Brickwork Repointing in Totton
How much does house repointing cost in Totton?
Costs vary depending on the size of the area, the type of mortar required, and whether scaffolding is needed. A small garden wall will be much cheaper than a full semi-detached gable end. We provide clear, written quotes after a site visit so you know exactly what to expect.
How do I know if my bricks need repointing?
Look for white powdery deposits (efflorescence), visible gaps in the mortar, or bricks that feel loose. If you can poke a screwdriver into the mortar and it crumbles away easily, it is time to call in a professional.
Do you offer chimney repointing?
Yes. Chimneys are the most exposed part of your house and often the first to fail. We specialise in chimney repairs and repointing to prevent leaks and structural instability.
What is the difference between cement and lime mortar?
Modern cement is hard and waterproof, which is great for new builds. However, older bricks are softer. If you use cement on an old house, the bricks can crack because they can't expand or breathe. We use lime mortar for period properties to keep the masonry healthy.
How long does the job take?
A typical front elevation on a standard house usually takes 2 to 4 days, depending on the weather and the depth of the raking required. We always give you a realistic timeframe before we start.
