Those gaps between your patio slabs weren't always filled with moss and weeds. Proper repointing transforms tired Mitcham patios back into the outdoor spaces they deserve to be.

Victorian terraces near Mitcham Common often feature original York stone patios that have weathered over a century of British seasons. Modern developments around Figges Marsh face different challenges - cheaper pointing compounds failing after just five years. Whether dealing with heritage stonework or contemporary porcelain, deteriorating joints compromise both appearance and structural integrity.
Repointing involves carefully removing failed mortar, cleaning joint depths to expose sound substrate, then applying fresh compounds matched to your specific paving material. Polymer-modified mortars resist the freeze-thaw cycles common in SW16's clay soils. Correct joint width calculations prevent future cracking whilst maintaining proper drainage - particularly crucial given Mitcham's position between the Wandle Valley and higher ground.
Living in Mitcham since the 1990s has shown us how local conditions affect different patio materials. From the sandstone popular in Colliers Wood's Edwardian properties to the Indian limestone favoured in recent extensions, each requires specific techniques.
