Gun-point is the worlds first mechanised re-pointing service. Repointing, the removal of old mortar from between bricks and stone and replacement with a new high quality mortar, has traditionally been undertaken by hand. Gunpoint has developed a combination of equipment, methods and management that produces high quality results consistently, more cleanly and more quickly.
The basic problem with repointing is that very few people
enjoy doing it. It is slow messy and there is very little
pleasure or profit in it. So the natural temptation for the
person doing this work is to try to find ways of doing it
more quickly, by cutting corners such as not taking
out enough of the old mortar, causing havoc with the dust from
raking it out or rushing the pointing and leaving an untidy
finish. This means that without a lot of close supervision, the
person paying for the work is never really sure of its quality or
has to spend time sorting out the chaos caused by the way the
work is done.
All too often what should be a simple job turns into a series of problems for everyone concerned.
At Gun-point our approach solves these problems through the latest technology, unique patented equipment and highly trained personnel.
We are not caught in the disastrous circle of inefficiency and skimping. Our systems include a unique range of power tools to ensure a proper depth of rake of old mortar and our patented mortar pump and gun ensures new mortar is injected in to the joint thoroughly.
We specialise in deep pointing and overhead works, raking and repointing of old hard cement-based mortars and our experience in solving both the technical and operational problems of repointing is second to none.
With the increased interest in property renovation, repointing
of buildings is ever increasing. Local councils know the
Gun-point name well and associate it with high standards. This is
reflected in the £1.1 million of work contracted to Gun-point
through local authorities over the last 12 months. 
After 40 years of life a building often needs to be
repointed, almost 1¼ million (that's 25%) of council homes in
Britain are more than 40 years old. This means there is an ever
increasing market for our service. This is just for council
houses.
