Building prices for repointing
Pointing is the outer layer of mortar that is used when laying a brick wall. To repoint a wall means to remove the old existing mortar to a certain depth and then replace it with new mortar. The old mortar is raked out using a trowel or similar device and then replaced with new mortar.
