WHY REPOINT?
Repointing your property has several key benefits.
DAMP PROBLEMS
If you are doing absolutely everything you can to avoid damp but you are still experiencing it, then you probably need a full repoint in Lime.
Many properties across the UK in the last 50 years or so have been either unintentionally or carelessly repointed in cement. The problem with this (particularly with much older properties) is that cement has severe disadvantages compared to lime.
Turning this around could be exactly what you need. For more information on lime and its advantages compared to cement, please visit its page above.
STRENGTH & PROTECTION
Structural integrity plays an important role to the entirety of your house. Perished mortar, hairline cracks and frost blown bricks need addressing immediately.
Structure is only the beginning - ignoring such problems would also leave you at risk to interior problems like penetrating damp, leaks and poor insulation.
Protect your home from the weather and it will protect you!
VALUE ADDED
This isn't guarenteed as property value is based on many other key factors, but it would more likely be considered if issues mentioned above were ironed out. Remember that your house value doesn't always have to mean it's worth more money either - if it's well maintained it will attract more buyers and sell faster.
AESTHETICS
Have your property stand out from the crowd. Imagine your home is surrounded by other properties that haven't been maintained recently - having some work done will likely increase its cosmetic value.
