Those gaps between your patio slabs might seem minor, but Thornton Heath's unpredictable weather turns them into weed havens and trip hazards faster than you'd think. Proper repointing transforms tired patios back into spaces you'll actually want to use.

Victorian terraces dominate much of CR7, and their compact rear gardens often feature original stone or concrete patios showing decades of wear. Weather penetration through failing pointing causes subsidence, while moss and algae make surfaces treacherous during our damp winters. Fresh pointing compound doesn't just fill gaps - it stabilises the entire structure whilst preventing the freeze-thaw damage that plagues South London gardens.
Modern repointing involves carefully raking out deteriorated mortar to approximately 20mm depth before applying polymer-modified compounds specifically formulated for external use. These flexible materials accommodate seasonal movement whilst maintaining waterproof integrity. Colour-matched pointing ensures seamless integration with existing stonework, whether you're dealing with Indian sandstone popular in Broad Green's newer developments or the weathered York stone found throughout older Selhurst properties.
Having worked across CR7 for fifteen years, we understand how local clay soils affect patio stability. Our teams arrive equipped for everything from compact courtyards to sprawling entertainment areas, completing most residential projects within a single day.

Standard patio repointing in CR7 typically ranges £25-40 per square metre, though intricate patterns or severely degraded joints may increase costs. A typical 20m² Victorian terrace patio usually falls between £500-800 complete.
Absolutely - from the bustling High Street down to the quieter residential pockets near Norbury Brook, we cover all of Thornton Heath plus neighbouring South Norwood and Broad Green.
Most CR7 properties have manageable patio sizes that allow completion within 6-10 hours, weather permitting. Larger or more complex layouts occasionally require a second day.
Every repointing project carries decade-long protection against material failure or workmanship issues. This covers joint integrity, colour stability and water resistance throughout ten full years of Thornton Heath weather.
Repointing significantly improves surface water management by preventing pooling between slabs. However, severe drainage issues might require additional remedial work like relevelling or installing proper falls.
