Moore & Son provide repointing services across Southampton and the surrounding Hampshire area, covering postcodes SO14–SO19, SO30 and SO50 as well as villages including Fair Oak, Hedge End, Eastleigh, Chandler's Ford, Botley and Romsey. All repointing work is carried out by our own team with no subcontracting, and all projects start with a free site inspection and written quote.
Southampton has a substantial stock of Victorian and Edwardian brick housing, concentrated in areas such as Shirley, Portswood, Northam, Bitterne and St Denys. This older brickwork is at the stage in its life cycle where mortar joints commonly need attention — the original lime mortar has had over a century of weathering, and where previous repointing has been carried out in hard cement, there are often additional problems to resolve. Properties from the 1920s to 1960s across Bassett, Lordshill and Maybush present different mortar requirements, typically a medium-strength mix that bridges lime and OPC formulations.
Our process starts with an inspection of the brickwork across all affected elevations. We identify the extent of joint failure, check for any associated brick damage, and confirm the appropriate mortar mix for the existing construction. We then provide a written quote specifying the area to be treated, the mortar specification, and the method of application. All redundant mortar is cut back mechanically to an adequate depth before new mortar is applied — raking out properly is what separates a lasting repointing job from one that fails within a few years.
If you're considering repointing but aren't certain how urgent it is, a free site inspection is a good first step. We'll tell you honestly what we find and what, if anything, we recommend — including whether any areas can wait versus those that need prompt attention to prevent further deterioration.
