WHAT ARE THE STEPS IN REPOINTING BRICKWORK IN CONGLETON?

Repointing takes quite a bit of time to accomplish correctly and will involve working at considerable height in many cases. A visual survey is the initial step in this process and will evaluate the magnitude of remedial work that's required on your brickwork. A thorough inspection is the only way in which a repointing contractor can offer you an estimate for the volume of work that is needed on your brickwork. Never assume that all repointing contractors in Congleton offer the same standard of service and the lowest quotation might not necessarily be the best choice.

If you have out-of-reach parts of your home that couldn't be assessed in the first on-site survey, a further inspection with long ladders and possibly scaffolding may be needed. This second, more stringent survey may expose additional trouble spots that may have an effect on the first quote. If you have an older house in Congleton that's more than sixty years old, it is far more likely to require remedial work on repointing than a more contemporary structure.

As soon as the problems have been uncovered then reparation work can start. It is likely your repointing specialist will require the erection of scaffolding in order to have a stable working platform while doing the work on your home. As soon as the scaffold is in position some protective sheeting will be fixed to the outside of it. This shielding should prevent any mortar dust or other debris from damaging your home, or neighbours properties, and is also a safety measure to help prevent injuries to anyone passing by.

All external wires, such as TV or satellite cables, will be detached from the walls and pipes may be removed or adjusted to permit easier access to the brickwork behind. This is only a temporary measure and they will be put back in their appropriate position once all reparation work has been finished.

Any rendering, paint, pebble-dash or other coverings will now have to be carefully removed to allow the repointing team to gain access to the brickwork and press ahead with their reparation work. Once this has been done the bricks can be meticulously cleaned and sanded to provide a uniform surface to work on.

A professional Congleton repointing company will be able to knock up a test panel on your home in order to help you picture the various different styles available for the mortar, (Flush, Tuck, Recessed or Weather Struck pointing). This small test panel will allow you to visualise how each of the variations compares with one another and also which matches your style of home best.

The brick joints are now thoroughly raked out to remove the old, damaged mortar and clean the gaps between the bricks. This can be quite a laborious procedure where the old mortar and any loose debris or dust has to be carefully cleaned out to produce a decent binding surface for the new mortar. Special care and attention is taken around doors and windows since any movement in the brickwork may result in problems with their closing and opening.

Something that should be avoided is the new mortar drying out too rapidly, and this can be prevented by dampening down the walls. This delayed drying time helps to stop the mortar from becoming inflexible and cracking, which can create a weaker joint. During the mortar application there will be excess mortar and smears on the surrounding brickwork that can look untidy, but this will be removed as soon as it has dried. The walls will usually be split into areas, and each will be repointed, allowed to dry, and then cleaned before the team move along to a new section.

If any chimney repairs, brick replacement or lead flashing work needs doing by the repointing company during the work, now's the time that these jobs will be undertaken.

Once the entire property has been repointed and cleaned, and if you wish to repaint the bricks or re-apply the rendering, now will be the time to do this. The final step of the project will entail all cables, pipes and other fixtures put back in their original locations, work platforms and scaffolding dismantled and all waste materials removed from the site.
