Over time, mortar between bricks can crack, crumble, or wash away — leaving your home vulnerable to damp and structural issues. At City Building Services, we provide expert brick repointing in Brighton, Hove, Lewes, and across Sussex, restoring the strength and appearance of your property with precision and care. Whether it’s a Victorian terrace or a modern home, our experienced team delivers lasting results that protect and enhance your building.
Older properties often require the use of lime-based mortar to allow the walls to ‘breathe’ and release moisture naturally.
Our team has extensive experience in lime mortar repointing for historic homes, listed buildings, and conservation projects.
We take great care to use materials compatible with traditional brickwork, following best practice guidelines from
Historic England.
Cracked or missing mortar allows water to penetrate the walls, leading to damp, frost damage, and even structural weakness. Our repointing and brick repair services help seal your home against the elements, improving energy efficiency and maintaining property value. We also inspect for other potential problems during repointing, offering advice on additional remedial work if needed.
If your home’s appearance matters as much as its structure, we offer coloured mortar repointing to match or enhance the existing façade. This approach is ideal for homeowners looking to refresh or modernise tired brickwork while retaining character. Our attention to detail ensures a seamless blend between new and old mortar for a consistent finish.
We offer expert brickwork repointing to restore and protect your property. Our specialists use traditional and modern vacuum-assisted techniques to remove damaged mortar, cutting down on dust to reduce air pollution and mess. Operatives are fully trained, experienced and qualified with all relevant certificates for operating the required plant and tools. Safe access is considered to present a cost-effective and least disruptive working environment to the general public.
