How much does it cost to repoint brickwork?

Brick and stone pointing is a process of repairing and restoring the mortar joints between bricks or stones. The cost of brick and stone pointing depends on several factors, such as:

 →  SQUARE METRE RATE

The square metre rate of the area to be pointed. This is the basic unit of measurement for calculating the cost of pointing. The square metre rate varies depending on the type and size of bricks or stones, the quality and colour of mortar, and the style and pattern of pointing. Generally, the square metre rate ranges from $90 to $150 depending on the contractor you engage.

 → SITE ACCESS

The difficulty of site access. This refers to how easy or hard it is to reach the area to be pointed. For example, if the area is on a high wall or roof, or if there are obstacles or hazards in the way, the cost of pointing will increase. The difficulty of site access also affects the time and labour required for the job, as well as the equipment and scaffolding needed. The difficulty of site access can add 10% to 50% to the price of pointing.

 → EXTENT OF WEAR

The degree of wear and damage. This refers to how much the mortar joints have deteriorated or cracked over time. Interestingly, the degree of existing damage can impact the cost of your restoration project either positively or negatively. Sometimes age and deterioration can work in your favour, particularly if mortar joints are loose and crumbling thus facilitating its easy removal. However, where surrounding bricks or stones are also extensively damaged, chipped or stained, they may need to be cleaned or replaced as well. The degree of wear and damage can increase (or decrease) the cost of pointing by 20% to 50%.
