With over 25 years of experience in pointing and the use of traditional lime mortars, we specialise in the restoration and preservation of historic and listed buildings.
Our work is rooted in a deep respect for heritage craftsmanship, combining time-honoured techniques with modern standards to ensure every project is completed to the highest level.
In recent years, we’ve worked on prestigious projects including Chester Cathedral, Hexham Abbey, and the iconic Salford Lads Club, alongside work on ancient monuments, castles, and period properties of all sizes. No job is too big or small—from chimney repairs to large-scale restoration, we approach every project with the same care, precision, and attention to detail.
We are currently furthering our expertise through a Master’s degree in Conservation and Management of Historic Buildings, ensuring our knowledge continues to grow alongside our hands-on experience.
As a family-run business, we work closely together with the next generation—bringing in fresh skills alongside solid experience. With several years of hands-on masonry experience working on listed buildings, we offer a reliable, skilled, and dedicated service you can trust.
Why Choose The Pointing Company?
We’re a family-run business based in Cheshire, built on pride in our work and doing things the right way.
With years of experience working on some of the UK’s most prestigious and historic buildings, we bring that same level of care and attention to every job—no matter the size. We specialise in traditional lime mortar pointing, understanding how older buildings are meant to perform and making sure every repair protects the structure, not harms it.
What really sets us apart is the personal approach we take. When you contact us, you’re dealing directly with the people who will actually carry out the work. We don’t send someone out to quote and then pass the job on—you’ll see the same faces from start to finish. That means clear communication, consistent quality, and a genuine investment in getting the job done properly.
We take the time to analyse your existing mortar and create a close match in strength, colour, and finish, ensuring the work blends seamlessly and lasts for years to come. No shortcuts, no guesswork—just honest, skilled workmanship you can rely on.
