| Protecting Brickwork |
The walls that surround your home are often taken for granted, but they feel the effects of time and weather as keenly as other parts of the house.
Crumbling mortar and displaced bricks can let in water, leading to dampness, rusting wall ties and bowed brickwork.

Leaving brickwork to fall into disrepair can be a big mistake and can prove costly in the long run," tradesman Graham Hall and managing director of Quikpoint, Australia's first mechanised repointing service, said.
"Ultimately, problems with lintels, sagging roofs and the collapse of the outer skin of brickwork can be the extreme results of early neglect."
Quikpoint’s qualified tradespeople can provide a complete overhaul by replacing fretted bricks and rusted lintels, and repointing the old mortar joints, while an acid clean of the brickwork will return your home to its former glory.
The basic problem with repointing is that it is time consuming, dusty and very few people enjoy doing it, so the natural temptation is to cut corners by not raking out the joints deeply enough, and not filling them properly. Often, the person paying for the work is never truly sure of its quality.
The Quikpoint approach solves these problems through the latest technology, patented equipment and highly trained personnel.
The system includes a unique raking system which provides the raking out of the old mortar to a depth of about 25 to 30mm, and then new Quickpoint mortar product is injected into the joint thoroughly, using the Quikpoint mortar gun.
