Those widening gaps between your patio stones aren't just unsightly – they're letting water seep where it shouldn't. From period properties near Putney Common to riverside gardens, deteriorating pointing threatens the stability of countless local patios.
Response within 24 hours
Putney's mix of Victorian terraces and Edwardian homes means patios ranging from compact courtyards to expansive entertainment spaces. Years of frost, rain, and the occasional BBQ spillage take their toll on mortar joints. When pointing fails, stones shift, puddles form, and that pristine patio transforms into an ankle-twisting hazard.
Repointing involves carefully removing degraded mortar before applying fresh, weather-resistant compounds specifically chosen for your stone type. Modern pointing materials flex with temperature changes whilst maintaining their seal. The process eliminates those persistent weeds sprouting between slabs and creates proper drainage channels that direct rainwater away from foundations – particularly crucial given how many Putney properties sit on London clay.
Local knowledge matters when dealing with everything from reclaimed York stone to contemporary porcelain. Having worked across Putney Heath's grander properties and Roehampton's modern developments, the nuances of different installations become second nature.

Most Putney homeowners find costs range between £25-40 per square metre, depending on joint width and existing damage. A standard 30m² patio usually falls within £750-1200, though intricate patterns or specialist mortars may increase this.
Absolutely – from the tree-lined streets around Putney Heath to properties backing onto Barnes Common. The entire SW15 postcode falls within our regular working area, including those tucked-away gardens near the Thames Path.
A typical residential patio takes 2-3 days from start to finish. Larger installations around Putney's period properties might stretch to 4-5 days, especially if significant preparation work's needed.
Every repointing project carries decade-long coverage against joint failure or water ingress. This warranty reflects the quality of materials used and confidence in workmanship – your patio pointing should outlast most other garden elements.
Properly executed repointing dramatically improves surface water management. By creating consistent joint profiles and selecting permeable compounds where appropriate, water flows away rather than pooling. This proves especially valuable during Putney's wetter months when standing water accelerates deterioration.
