Those tired gaps between your patio slabs aren't just unsightly – they're an open invitation for weeds and water damage. Catford homeowners know the frustration of watching their outdoor spaces deteriorate, especially with our unpredictable weather patterns.

Victorian terraces throughout SE6 often feature stunning original paving that's let down by failing mortar joints. Years of frost, rain, and the occasional barbecue spillage take their toll on pointing material. The result? Loose slabs that rock underfoot, persistent weed growth, and water pooling where it shouldn't. Smart property owners tackle repointing before complete patio replacement becomes necessary.
Modern repointing compounds have revolutionised this traditional craft. Gone are the days of basic sand and cement mixes that crack within seasons. Today's polymeric and resin-based solutions flex with temperature changes while maintaining incredible strength. The application process demands precision – old material must be completely excavated, joints cleaned to perfection, and new compound applied at exactly the right consistency. Weather conditions during installation prove crucial for longevity.

Repointing stabilises existing slabs but won't correct significant level differences. Minor rocking can often be resolved during the process, but major subsidence requires lifting and relaying affected areas before new pointing.
