Protect older brickwork the right way
Lime mortar re-pointing is a smart choice for older buildings because it works with the way traditional brickwork was built to breathe and move. Hard modern mortar can trap moisture, and that often leads to cracked joints, damaged brick faces, and damp working its way indoors. We use traditional lime mortar techniques to help moisture escape naturally, which supports the life of your walls instead of fighting against them.
In Wigan, many period properties need this gentler approach to avoid unnecessary damage during repairs. We carry out each job with care, and Pro Point North West focuses on keeping the character of your property intact while restoring failed joints. That means you get repairs that look right, last well, and give your brickwork proper protection.

Why breathable mortar matters
Older masonry needs mortar that is softer and more flexible than the surrounding bricks, because that allows the joints to take the strain instead of the brickwork itself. Our lime-based repairs help reduce the risk of trapped moisture, blown faces, and frost damage that can follow poor repointing choices.
We take a sympathetic restoration approach, matching the style and finish as closely as possible to the existing building. That matters on heritage homes, chimneys, boundary walls, and older commercial properties where a harsh finish can stand out for all the wrong reasons. We give you clear advice so you know when lime mortar is the right fit for your building.
