Those gaps between your patio slabs aren't just unsightly - they're inviting weeds, water damage and eventual subsidence. In Carshalton's variable weather, properly sealed joints make all the difference between a patio that lasts decades and one that needs constant repair.

Victorian terraces around Carshalton Beeches often feature original flagstone patios where mortar has crumbled over the years. Modern properties near The Grove typically have block paving that's lost its jointing sand through decades of rainfall. Either way, fresh pointing transforms tired patios back into solid, attractive outdoor spaces that complement your garden rather than letting it down.
Repointing involves carefully removing deteriorated material between slabs before applying fresh mortar or polymeric compounds. The choice depends on your patio's construction - natural stone benefits from traditional lime mortar that breathes with seasonal movement, whilst concrete pavers suit modern resin-based products. Proper preparation ensures new pointing bonds effectively, creating watertight seals that resist frost damage common in SM5's damp winters.
Having worked on patios from Hackbridge's new builds to period properties near Carshalton Ponds, we understand local ground conditions affect pointing longevity. Clay soil movement, mature tree roots, and high water tables all play their part.

Most suburban patios in SM5 range 20-40 square metres, costing £25-35 per square metre depending on joint width and pointing material selected. Smaller courtyard areas might total £500-800, whilst larger entertainment spaces could reach £1,400.
Absolutely - from Carshalton station through to Wallington borders, including The Wrythe and areas around Sutton Hospital. Regular projects take us along residential streets off Pound Street and throughout established neighbourhoods near Westmead Corner.
Smaller patios typically require 2-3 days including preparation and curing time. Extensive areas might stretch to a full week, particularly if addressing underlying issues discovered during old mortar removal.
Every repointing project carries decade-long coverage against joint failure, ensuring your investment remains protected. This guarantee covers material degradation and workmanship, giving genuine peace of mind for SM5 homeowners.
Correctly applied pointing eliminates gaps where seeds lodge and germinate. Combined with proper joint depth and quality sealants, you'll find weed growth becomes virtually impossible - just occasional sweeping keeps surfaces pristine year-round.
