The integrity of any Frodsham property is only as reliable as its mortar and bricks.

A professional repointing company in Frodsham can achieve this and help to keep your property in the best condition possible.

WHAT ARE THE STEPS IN REPOINTING BRICKWORK IN FRODSHAM?

Repointing takes a fair amount of time to accomplish correctly and will entail working up high in many cases. To enable a repointing business to accurately determine the remedial work that is needed on your house they'll first need to undertake a visual inspection. A thorough inspection is the only way in which a repointing contractor can offer you a price quote for the amount of work that's required on your brickwork. Don't assume that all repointing contractors in Frodsham provide the same standard of service and the lowest estimate might not invariably be the best option.

A further site survey may be necessary as soon as you accept a price quote and could include the use of extending ladders, or perhaps even scaffolding, to gain access to inaccessible sections of your house. It might be that this more comprehensive survey could reveal further problems that could cause the original price quote to increase. The older your building is, the more likely it will be necessary to repoint the mortar, and this is particularly true for those properties in Frodsham over sixty years old.

A decent repointing specialist in Frodsham will go over any problems found with your house and agree the best methods of repair before starting any actual work. Even single storey buildings and bungalows might need some kind of scaffolding to provide a sturdy working platform for your repointing team. As soon as the scaffolding is up some protective sheeting will be fixed on its outer side. This protective sheeting should stop any mortar dust or other debris from harming your property, or neighbours properties, and is also a safety measure to prevent injuries to passers-by.

Cabling and pipework may need to be removed or adjusted to enable ease of access to the brickwork behind them. Once the project has been completed and all remedial action carried out these pipes and cables will be secured back in place.

Any paint, pebble-dash, rendering or other covering will now need to be removed safely to allow the repointing team to access the brickwork and begin their remedial work. After removal of these coverings all brickwork is cleaned and sanded to give the repointing team a uniform wall surface to work on.

If you haven't decided upon a a style of pointing (Tuck, Weather Struck, Recessed or Flush pointing), or you would like to see how the various pointing options appear on your home, a competent Frodsham repointing specialist will be willing to mock up a test section on your property. This should help you get an idea of the final result and make sure you're satisfied in relation to style and colour.

The next step is to remove the old, crumbling mortar in stages by raking and scraping out the joints in the brickwork. This is a time consuming stage and entails the grinding or chipping away of old mortar and brushing away any loose debris and dust to provide a nice, clean surface for the application of new mortar. Special care and attention is made around windows and doors because any movement in the brickwork may lead to problems with their opening and closing.

When the joints have been cleaned, the walls should be damped down to prevent the new mortar from drying out too quickly and subsequently cracking. This slower drying time stops the mortar from cracking and becoming inflexible, which can bring about a compromised joint. Any smears and excess mortar that is left on the bricks can be cleaned off as soon as the mortar has dried out thoroughly. The team will tackle the walls in small sections, cleaning each one as they go along before starting on a new patch.

If any chimney repairs, lead flashing replacement or brick replacement needs to be done by the repointing company during the work, now is the time that these repairs will be carried out.

After cleaning the walls for a final time, to get a uniform appearance, any re-painting, rendering or pebble-dashing of the finished wall surface can be done. After the pipes and TV and satellite cables are placed back into position, scaffolding will be removed and all of the debris and waste is taken away from the site.

Your repointing and brick repair should be good for another 50-60 years so long as it is accomplished by a certified and professional repointing company in Frodsham.
