Chimney Repointing built for Amberley homes
Amberley is a conservation village famous for its thatched and tiled cottages beneath the South Downs.
Amberley lies in or beside the South Downs National Park, where period cottages, flint walls, clay peg tiles and lime mortar are the norm. Many properties are listed or sit in conservation areas, so we match reclaimed materials, use breathable lime where needed and respect planning requirements.
We rake joints back to a sound depth, then repoint with a mortar matched to your bricks. Older and listed homes get breathable lime mortar, which lets the masonry dry out and avoids damaging soft bricks.
Chimney Repointing materials & options
We use NHL lime mortar for period chimneys and colour-matched sand and cement for modern stacks, replacing spalled bricks as we go.
