Frequently asked questions - Patio Repointing

What is patio repointing and why does it need doing?
Repointing is the process of removing old, cracked, or crumbling mortar or jointing compound from between your paving slabs and replacing it with fresh material. Over time, UK weather, freeze-thaw cycles, and general wear cause the original joints to degrade, and once that happens, weeds, moss, and water start finding their way in.
If the joints between your slabs are crumbling, cracking, or have gaps where you can see loose sand or bare earth underneath, cleaning alone won’t fix it. A quick way to check is pressing a screwdriver gently into the joint. If it crumbles away easily, that’s a sign the pointing has failed and needs redoing.
Left alone, failing joints let water seep underneath the slabs, which can cause them to shift, sink, or become unstable underfoot over time. Weeds and grass also take root more easily in open joints, and the whole patio tends to look increasingly untidy even after a clean.
Yes, always. Any loose debris, moss, or old crumbling mortar needs to be raked out and the joints cleared before new material goes in. Trying to repoint over dirty or unstable joints means the new pointing won’t bond properly and is likely to fail again quickly.
The two most common options are sand-based jointing compounds and resin-based mortars. Resin pointing tends to be more durable and weed-resistant, making it a popular choice for driveways and high-traffic patios, while traditional sand and cement pointing remains a cost-effective option for lower-traffic areas.
This depends on the size of the patio and the condition of the existing joints. A small residential patio might take a day, while larger areas or those needing full joint removal beforehand can take two to three days, including drying and curing time before the patio can be used again.
It significantly reduces the problem, particularly with resin-based pointing, which forms a much denser barrier than traditional sand and cement. It won’t guarantee a completely weed-free patio forever, but it removes the main gaps weeds need to establish themselves.
Yes, and it’s often more important there, since uneven or crumbling joints can become a trip hazard in areas with regular public footfall. We can schedule commercial repointing work around business hours and phase larger areas to keep disruption to a minimum.
Light foot traffic is usually fine within 24 to 48 hours, but full curing, especially for resin-based products, can take anywhere up to a week depending on the weather. We’ll always confirm exact timings for your specific job based on the product used and conditions on the day.
It’s a good idea. Sealing protects both the new pointing and the surrounding stone from staining, water ingress, and algae regrowth, and it tends to extend the life of the repointing work considerably. Many of our customers combine repointing and sealing into a single project to get the full benefit.
