Repointing in Chandlers Ford — Get It Done Before Winter Sets In

Why Autumn Is the Time to Get Repointing Done in Chandlers Ford

Failing mortar joints and winter weather are a damaging combination. When water gets into open or cracked joints and then freezes, it expands and forces the joint wider — a process called spalling that can visibly crack and pop brick faces over a single hard winter. On Chandlers Ford's older housing stock from the 1960s and 70s, mortar that's already at the end of its life is particularly vulnerable.

Getting repointing done in late summer or autumn — while conditions are dry and temperatures are still reasonable for mortar curing — means your brickwork goes into winter properly protected. Repointing in winter itself is difficult because mortar won't cure correctly in cold temperatures.
