Cast stone repointing involves removing loose or deteriorated joint material and replacing it with a suitable mortar to restore the appearance, strength and weather resistance of the joints.

Cast stone may need attention when joints are cracked, loose, open or missing, or when water is penetrating around the joints. Early repairs can help prevent further deterioration and keep the stonework looking neat.

Yes. Small cracks, damaged edges and localised defects in cast stone can often be repaired without replacing the whole section. The repair method depends on the type and extent of the damage.

Cast stone joints can deteriorate over time because of weather exposure, movement, moisture, frost and ageing mortar. Cracked or open joints can allow further water penetration and accelerate deterioration.

Yes. Cracked, open or missing joints can allow water to penetrate behind the cast stone. Over time this can contribute to staining, frost damage and further deterioration, so damaged joints should be repaired before the problem becomes more serious.

When carried out properly with suitable materials, cast stone repairs and repointing can provide a durable, long lasting result. The lifespan depends on the condition of the stonework, exposure to weather and ongoing maintenance.
