Brickwork & Construction Specialists
Over time, harsh weather and freezing temperatures break down the mortar between your bricks. Once this happens, damp can penetrate your home, and the structural integrity of your walls can be compromised.
At B.J. Orme Brickwork & Construction, we specialise in bringing tired masonry back to life. Good repointing is an art form. We don't just patch over the cracks; we carefully grind out the old, failing joints and inject fresh, perfectly matched mortar. Whether your property requires standard cement-based mortar for a modern home or breathable lime mortar for a period stone cottage, our City & Guilds qualified team ensures a flawless, weather-tight finish that will last for decades.
The ultimate weatherproofing. We completely renew the mortar joints across your entire property or target specific weathered gables, finishing with a profile (e.g., weather-struck or bucket-handle) that suits your home.
Older properties need to breathe. We are experienced in mixing and applying traditional lime mortar to period properties and natural stone buildings, preventing trapped moisture and brick spalling.
Frost damage can cause the face of a brick to crumble away. We carefully cut out these damaged bricks and replace them with closely matched alternatives before seamlessly repointing the area.

How We Manage Your Build - From, design and planning, through to finishing
1
Step 1: Raking & Grinding Out
We use specialist diamond-blade grinders with dust extraction units to carefully remove the old mortar to a depth of at least 15-20mm, creating a solid key for the new mix.
2
Step 2: Mortar Matching & Mixing
We assess your existing brickwork and mix a bespoke batch of mortar, tinting the sand and cement (or lime) to ensure the repair blends perfectly with the original building.

Step 3: Pointing & Cleaning
Our bricklayers inject the fresh mortar, strike it off to your chosen profile to allow water run-off, and give the wall a thorough brush-down for a pristine finish.
