Repointing Goole East Yorkshire (DN14): All properties in Goole will at some point need a little maintenance.

It's the bricks and mortar that make a property strong and secure against the elements. If the mortar is in a poor condition with holes, gaps or crumbling areas, then moisture or draughts can enter your dwelling and cause many problems to the integrity of the structure. It's fairly easy to spot when you might need to do some repointing?

Quite simply, you need to have a good look at the state of the mortar and bricks of your exterior walls. You have an issue if you can see an issue! You should be able to see for yourself in most circumstances the external signs of deterioration, however in awkward areas for example under eaves or on chimney stacks it may be preferable to get a specialist to check for you.

Crumbling mortar doesn't only look bad, it can cause safety issues too. Mortar is the binding agent that holds everything together in any Goole house, and if badly in poor condition can affect the stability of a structure. In higher structures and houses with chimney stacks, any weakness in the integrity of the dwelling can have serious implications with regards to property damages and risk of injury.

It might be that missing or eroding mortar is the result of damaged brickwork. An experienced Goole repointing contractor will repair any damaged bricks before continuing with the mortar repointing to achieve a perfect finish to your property.

It could be the case that in past times your Goole home's external brick walls have been rendered or painted. Any flaking, bubbling or cracks of paint or render could indicate damage to either bricks or mortar under the surface. Inspection of this problem, by a repointing specialist is the only reliable way to ensure that the deterioration does not spread further and trigger structural challenges in the future. Through the use of a qualified and reputable repointing contractor you'll keep your exterior walls in the best condition possible.

WHAT ARE THE STEPS IN REPOINTING BRICKWORK IN GOOLE?

Repointing can be a time consuming process and can entail working at height, subject to the style of your property. To allow a repointing contractor to accurately assess the restorative work that's required on your property they will firstly have to carry out a visual survey. This inspection will enable them to offer you an estimate for the work required and the labour costs. It is always much better to get 2 or 3 estimates from different repointing specialists in Goole and study the standard of service offered between them.

It might be that during the original on-site survey there were some sections of your house that were inaccessible or out-of-reach and in cases like this a second, more comprehensive survey might be required. This second, more stringent survey may uncover different problem areas that may have an effect on the initial estimate. The older your building, the more likely it is to need repointing, and this is especially true for those homes in Goole that are over sixty years old.

A decent repointing contractor in Goole will discuss any issues found with your property and agree the most effective options for repair before starting any actual work. Most buildings will require scaffolding to be erected to establish a sturdy working platform from which to do the repointing. Some form of protective shielding or sheeting will then be secured to the outside of the scaffolding. This might take the form of polythene sheeting to trap any debris and dirt that's generated during the process.

All external cabling, such as TV or satellite, will be removed from the walls and piping will be removed or adjusted to permit easier access to the brickwork behind. This is only temporary and they will be replaced back in their appropriate position once all reparation work has been accomplished.

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

An experienced Goole repointing company will be able to mock up a test panel on your property in order to help you to decide on the different mortar styles that are available, (Weather Struck, Tuck, Recessed or Flush pointing). This small test panel will allow you to visualise how each of the techniques compares with one another and also which one suits the style of your house best.

The joints in the brickwork are now thoroughly raked out to remove the old, crumbling mortar and clear the spaces between the bricks. This painstaking process can be quite time consuming because the joints need to be cleaned of any dust, debris and old mortar in order to supply a good bonding area for the new mortar to be applied to. Any windows and doors will be paid extra care by the repointers to prevent any disturbance of the frames or having excess mortar applied which could cause issues with their opening and closing.

To avoid the fresh mortar drying out too rapidly, the walls will be dampened before the new pointing is started. This makes sure that the mortar remains flexible and allows it to dry out at a gentler pace to prevent cracking and generating a weaker joint. During the mortar application there will be excess mortar and smears on the brickwork which can look untidy, but this can be removed as soon as it has dried out. A wire brush is used to clean the wall areas that have been finished before starting on the next part of the wall needing work.

It's quite possible that as the repointing team are doing their work they could find cracked bricks that need replacing, or perhaps issues with lead flashing or a chimney stack, and an experienced repointer will be ideally placed to carry out such repairs as they go.

Any paint, rendering or other wall coverings that you require will be put back as soon as all of the repointing work has been finished. The final step of the repointing project will see all cables, pipes and other fixtures put back in their original positions, scaffolding and work platforms taken down and all waste materials removed from the site.

Repointing your house using a skilled Goole specialist should mean you need not deal with your external brickwork for 50-60 years. They should also give you a guarantee for their work and be backed by professional certifications and qualifications in the construction and building industry.

Such accreditation may include the likes of: the Federation of Master Builders, the National House Building Council and the National Federation of Building Contractors, whilst qualifications could range from City & Guilds, Diplomas and NVQ's from construction industry specialists like the CIOB (Chartered Institute of Building). Each individual who works on repointing your home is also required to be a member of the Construction Skills Certification Scheme and be prepared to verify their skills and ability by showing their CSCS card.
