Those weathered patio joints telling stories of countless Wallington summers need more than a quick brush-over. Professional repointing breathes fresh life into tired mortar, transforming wobbly slabs into solid ground once more.
Response within 24 hours
Victorian terraces throughout SM6 showcase beautiful original patios that have weathered decades of British seasons. Mortar joints crumble, weeds colonise gaps, and what should be level ground becomes an ankle-twisting hazard. Skilled repointing tackles these issues head-on, using materials matched to your patio's age and construction. Whether you're preserving period features or updating a 1960s concrete installation, the right approach makes all the difference.
Modern repointing techniques go beyond simply filling gaps with fresh mortar. First comes the careful removal of deteriorated material, followed by thorough cleaning to ensure proper adhesion. The new pointing compound – selected for flexibility and weather resistance – gets worked deep into joints before being shaped for optimal water runoff. This methodical process prevents future frost damage whilst maintaining the structural integrity that keeps your patio level through Wallington's clay soil movements.
Local knowledge matters when clay shrinkage affects so many properties between Carshalton and Coulsdon. Years spent working on patios throughout these postcodes means understanding which pointing methods suit each situation best.

Most residential patios in SM6 fall between £25-40 per square metre, though intricate patterns or specialist heritage mortars can increase costs. A typical 30m² patio usually ranges from £750-1200 complete.
Absolutely – from the Roundshaw estate to Wallington Green, plus neighbouring areas like Beddington, Hackbridge and South Croydon. Regular work across these districts keeps travel costs minimal.
Medium-sized patios typically need 2-3 days from start to finish, weather permitting. Larger or more complex jobs might stretch to 4-5 days, particularly if extensive preparation work is required.
Every repointing project carries a decade-long guarantee covering both materials and workmanship. This protection ensures joints remain weather-tight and structurally sound through ten full years of seasonal changes.
Properly sealed joints eliminate the gaps ants exploit for nesting. The pointing compounds used create an impenetrable barrier whilst incorporating ant-deterrent additives that discourage future colonisation attempts.
