Weathered pointing between patio slabs doesn't just look tired – it's letting water seep where it shouldn't. Dartford homeowners trust our meticulous approach to joint restoration that keeps patios looking sharp year after year.

Those gaps between your patio slabs tell quite a story. Victorian terraces in central Dartford often feature original flagstone patios where mortar has crumbled over decades. Meanwhile, newer estates towards Greenhithe struggle with sand-filled joints that wash away each winter. Proper repointing transforms these vulnerable spaces into weatherproof barriers that actually enhance your patio's appearance.
Fresh pointing compound needs careful selection for Dartford's clay-heavy soil conditions. Water pooling after rain? That's often down to inadequate joint depth or the wrong material choice. Modern polymeric compounds bond firmly whilst allowing natural movement – crucial when frost hits those exposed patios backing onto Dartford Heath. Colour-matched pointing creates seamless lines that complement your existing stonework rather than standing out like makeshift repairs.
Local knowledge matters when Thames mist rolls across DA1 gardens most mornings. Years spent working on patios from Crayford Road to Temple Hill means understanding which pointing methods last longest in this specific microclimate.

Most semi-detached properties around DA1 feature 20-30 square metre patios, typically ranging £450-800 for complete repointing. Larger Victorian properties near Central Park often run £900-1,400 depending on flagstone complexity.
Absolutely – from the riverside properties near Dartford Bridge through to gardens backing onto Central Park. Regular work takes us through Bexley borders and across to Greenhithe developments.
Standard suburban patios in Dartford usually take 2-3 days including old mortar removal and curing time. Intricate natural stone layouts might need an extra day.
Every pointing job carries decade-long protection against failure. Should joints deteriorate within ten years through normal weather exposure, we'll return to rectify without charge.
Repointing stabilises existing layouts but won't level sunken slabs. However, addressing failed joints often prevents further movement by stopping water infiltration that causes subsidence.
