WHAT ARE THE STEPS IN REPOINTING BRICKWORK IN NUNEATON?

Repointing is a lengthy process and may entail working at height, subject to your property type. The first thing that a repointing specialist will perform is a visual inspection to evaluate the damage and requirements to your house. This survey will enable them to offer you an estimate for the the entire project. It is always advisable to get 2 or 3 estimates from different repointing specialists in Nuneaton and verify the standard of service that each of them provides.

It could be that in the original on-site survey there were some areas of your property that were inaccessible or hard to reach and in cases like this a further, more thorough survey may be needed. This second, more stringent survey may uncover additional problem areas that might impact on the original quotation. If you have an older home in Nuneaton that's over sixty years old, it's far more likely to need restorative repointing work than a more contemporary building.

As soon as any issues have been detected then work can begin. There's every chance your repointing company will require the erection of scaffolding so as to have a secure working platform whilst doing the work on your property. As soon as this has been erected then some type of protective shielding will be fixed in position. This protective sheeting should stop any mortar dust or other debris from harming your property, or nearby properties, and also gives a layer of safety to prevent injuries to anybody that's passing by.

Wires and pipework will need to be adjusted or removed to allow access to the brickwork behind them. This is only temporary and they'll be put back in their appropriate position once all work has been completed.

To enable the repointing contractors to get to the affected brickwork, any paint, rendering or pebble-dash will now have to be removed before work can commence. After removal of such coverings all bricks can be cleaned and sanded to give the repointing team a standardised surface to work on.

If you haven't decided upon a finishing style (Recessed, Tuck, Weather Struck or Flush pointing), or you would like to see how the various pointing options appear on your house, a professional Nuneaton repointing specialist will be willing to mock up a test panel on your brickwork. This will help you to get an idea of the final result and ensure your satisfaction with the finished product with regard to colour and style.

Now the dusty work begins as the old, damaged mortar is removed by raking and cleaning out the brick joints. This painstaking process takes time as the joints need to have all the dust, old mortar and debris removed in order to supply a sound bonding surface for the new mortar to be applied to. Special attention is made around doors and windows since any movement in the brickwork may result in problems with their closing and opening.

Once the joints are clean, the walls should be dampened to stop the new mortar from drying out too rapidly and ultimately cracking. This helps establish a solid joint by keeping the mortar flexible and avoiding cracks. Any excess mortar and smears that are left on the bricks can be cleaned off once the mortar is thoroughly dry. The walls are divided into areas, and each will be repointed, allowed to dry, and then cleaned up before the team get on with a new section of wall.

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

Any render, paint or other wall covering you require will be put back once all the remedial work has been concluded. The pipes and cables will be re-positioned and the final phase of the repointing project will be to disassemble the scaffold and dispose of all debris and building waste.

An established Nuneaton repointing and brick repair specialist will provide you with a solution that should last up to sixty years. They should also provide you with a guarantee to their work and be backed by professional qualifications and accreditation in the building and construction industry.

If a building contractor has qualifications or accreditations from bodies such as the National Federation of Building Contractors, the National House Building Council and the Federation of Master Builders, you can be reassured you're working with an experienced and qualified provider. The Construction Skills Certification Scheme is now compulsory for everyone working in the construction industry and they should be willing to show you their CSCS card when requested to confirm their aptitude to work on your house.
