Caring for traditional stone and brick properties
We know Burnley is packed with beautiful stone-built and period properties that deserve specialist care, and at Local Pointing & Roofing, we deliver just that. Our team has 25 years of experience tackling the challenges that Lancashire’s harsh weather and ageing housing stock bring, from failed mortar joints to moisture creeping in. You might spot crumbling joints or notice damp patches inside, both signs that it’s time to act before bigger repairs are needed.
We handle everything from brick and stone repointing to heritage lime mortar, ensuring your home or business keeps its character and strength. Many Burnley properties, especially those with a bit of history, need traditional breathable mortars to avoid trapped moisture and future damage. If you want your property to stand up to the elements and look its best for years to come, we're here to help.

Why suitable mortar choice protects older buildings
Local Pointing & Roofing understands that many traditional homes require materials that match their original construction, which is why we focus on lime repointing for breathability and moisture control. Older properties can suffer when unsuitable mortar is used, as it prevents walls from releasing trapped moisture, leading to internal damp and masonry decay.
Roof repairs are often carried out alongside this work, where weather exposure has also affected surrounding structures. Our experience across stone terraces, cottages and heritage buildings allows us to select the right approach for each structure, ensuring repairs are sympathetic, durable and appropriate for the building’s age and style.
Case study
A traditional Burnley stone cottage underwent full lime repointing after previous cement mortar repairs had caused trapped moisture and masonry deterioration. We removed the unsuitable mortar and restored the building using breathable lime materials to improve its condition.
