How much for a stone wall to be repointed?

£2500

Stone is slower to point than brick because the joints are irregular, so it costs more.
Typical rates (2026):
Stone wall repointing is usually £60–£100 per m², including raking out and pointing. Lime mortar (which most older stone walls should have) sits at the higher end.
For a 40 m² wall:
• Full repoint: roughly £2,400–£4,000
• “A lot of places” but not every joint: often £1,500–£3,000, depending how much actually needs raking out
Extras that move the price:
• Scaffolding / tower if it’s more than a low garden wall
• Lime vs cement (don’t use hard cement on old stone — it can blow the faces)
• Very wide rubble joints take longer than neat coursed stone
• London / South East often 20–30% more
Ask for the quote to state: area to be raked, mortar type (NHL lime mix), and whether access is included. A site look is the only way to pin it down, because “a lot of places” can be half the wall or nearly all of it.

Hi, thanks for your enquiry.

Without seeing the wall, it's difficult to provide an exact price. As a rough guide, extensive patch repointing to a 40 m² stone wall typically costs between £1,800 and £3,500, while a full repoint of the entire wall could range from £2,500 to £5,000+, depending on the condition of the mortar, access, and whether lime mortar is required.

We'd be happy to inspect the wall and provide a free, no-obligation quotation based on the work required.

Kind regards,

2.6k with scaffolding

For 40 m², most quotes would land roughly between £1,800 and £3,200, depending on condition and mortar type.

2200

From £2,400/£3000

Depending on the hight of the wall and the weather I would expect it to take 3 days for 2 men so around 1k -1.5k

Roughly about twelve hundred pounds

2750

Re-pointing is between £60 to £ 100 per meter square.
£4000 on the highest price per metre

All depends if you want cement or lime based mortar but varies from £50-£120 per square metre depending on the style of repointing that you require.

£22 per squared meter

For the whole 40 square meters, rake out and repoint with materials supplied it would be roughly £2000

A lot depends on how accesible it is ( as in ground level or needing scaffolding )how much preparation is required and what type of pointing to be done ( brushed, raised, ribbon, cut and raised ect ) as a general guide it could anything from £30 to £90 per square meter. Sorry can't be more specific than that but there are many variables involved.

£120 m2

Generally around £60 per m2 but this price does not include plant hire

This is a tricky one because its the access and working platforms that have to be secure to work on and off throughout the works ,this will increase the costing a lot.
Generally the cost per m2 lets say on an old town house at floor level i would quote > £38.00 PER M2 but there is a charge for grinding out to consider.
