WHAT ARE THE STEPS IN REPOINTING BRICKWORK IN DROYLSDEN?

It can take quite a while to repoint a building and, subject to the style of your property, can also involve working at height. To permit a repointing business to accurately determine the remedial work that is needed on your brickwork they'll first need to carry out a visual inspection. This will enable them to provide you with a quote for the renovation project. Never assume all repointing contractors in Droylsden provide the same standard of service and the lowest estimate might not invariably be the best choice.

A further site survey might be required when you accept a price quote and could include the use of ladders, or perhaps even a scaffold, to gain access to out-of-reach sections of your property. It's quite possible that this more thorough survey could uncover more problems that could cause the first estimate to increase. The older the building is, the more chance that it is going to need remedial repointing work, and this is particularly so for those houses in Droylsden over sixty years old.

Work can commence as soon as any trouble spots have been confirmed and agreed with the owner of the property. Even single storey buildings and bungalows might need some sort of scaffold to establish a sturdy working platform for your repointing team. Once the scaffold is up some protective sheeting will be fixed on its outer side. This might take the form of plastic sheeting to collect any debris and dirt that's created during the repair work.

Pipes and cabling might need to be adjusted or removed to allow easy access to the walls behind them. Once completed all of these will be placed back in their proper positions.

To allow the repointers to access the brickwork in question, any pebble-dash, paint or rendering will now have to be removed before work can commence. After removal of any coverings all of the bricks can be sanded and cleaned to give the repointing team a consistent surface to work with.

A dependable Droylsden repointing company will be able to knock up a test panel on your property to help you to choose the various styles available for the mortar, (Weather Struck, Tuck, Recessed or Flush pointing). This small test panel will allow you to see how each design compares to each other and also which fits the style of your property best.

The brick joints are now raked out to remove the old mortar and clear the spaces between the bricks. This painstaking process takes time because the joints need to be cleaned of any old mortar, dust and debris in order to establish a sound bonding surface for the application of new mortar. Any window and door openings will be given extra attention by the repointers to prevent any disturbance of the frames or having excess mortar applied which can cause issues with their opening and closing.

Before any fresh mortar is applied, the walls will be dampened to prevent it from setting too rapidly. This delayed drying time helps to stop the mortar from becoming inflexible and cracking, which can bring about a compromised joint. During the mortar application there'll be excess mortar and smears on the brickwork that can look untidy, however this will be removed as soon as it has properly dried. A wire brush will be used to clean the wall areas that have been finished before moving on to the next portion of the wall needing work.

It's quite possible that as the repointing team are doing their work they might find crumbling brickwork that needs replacing, or maybe a problem with a chimney stack or faulty lead flashing, and an experienced repointer will be in a position to complete such repair work as they go.

Any paint, rendering or other wall coverings that you need will be applied as soon as all remedial work has been concluded. The final phase of the repointing project will entail all cables, pipes and other fittings mounted back in their original locations, scaffolding and work platforms dismantled and all building waste removed from the site.
