Victorian terraces throughout SW18 often feature original York stone patios that have witnessed over a century of British weather. Modern properties in Southfields and Earlsfield typically showcase Indian sandstone or porcelain installations requiring different repointing techniques. Whether addressing lime mortar deterioration in period properties or polymer joint failure in contemporary gardens, understanding your patio's specific construction determines the restoration approach.
Professional repointing begins with methodical joint excavation, removing failed material down to solid substrate. Fresh pointing compound – selected based on your paving material and exposure conditions – gets carefully worked into every crevice. The final brushing and compacting creates weatherproof barriers against those persistent London downpours while maintaining crucial drainage pathways that prevent winter frost damage.
