Repointing Rugby

Repointing Rugby Warwickshire (CV21): All structures in Rugby will at some point in time require a bit maintenance. If you've noticed the mortar between the brickwork on your Rugby home is crumbling or cracking, you will need expert assistance to stop the issue from worsening. It is essential to keep the brickwork in excellent condition to keep your property watertight, and the most cost effective solution is to hire a brick repointing specialist in Rugby.

It's the bricks and mortar that make a house sturdy and protected from the elements. To keep a structure warm and dry the mortar must be in sufficiently good condition to prevent any damp or draughts from forcing their way in through holes or gaps. Is it fairly easy to figure out when you might need to do some repointing?

Examine your outside walls and try to spot any visible damage that can be easily seen with the naked eye. If troublesome areas can be swiftly recognised by such a cursory inspection, then the likelihood is that you'll need some repointing. Most of the time you will be able to see quite clearly any physical signs of damage, but in places that are out of reach, such as chimney stacks or under eaves; you may need the services of a specialist to assist you.

You also need to consider the issues of safety that crumbling or cracked mortar could potentially cause. The structural strength of your Rugby house depends on the integrity of the mortar and bricks, and badly crumbling sections can adversely have an impact on this. In higher structures and homes with chimneys, any weakness in the integrity of the building can have major implications in respect to property damages and risk of injury.

If you're restoring an older building or your mortar has been neglected for years, you may also need to replace brickwork that has been weakened or damaged. A trustworthy brick repointing specialist in Rugby will quickly identify any areas that require possible replacement and offer a service to refurbish the brickwork while doing the repointing.

It might be a situation where in the past your Rugby property's exterior brick walls have been painted or rendered. Any peeling, discolouration or bubbling of paint or render could signify a deterioration of either bricks or mortar under the surface. Investigation of this problem, by a repointing specialist is the only effective way to make sure the deterioration does not spread more widely and trigger structural challenges in the future. A competent repointing specialist in Rugby will easily achieve this and help to keep your home in the best condition possible.

WHAT ARE THE STEPS IN REPOINTING BRICKWORK IN RUGBY?

Repointing can be a time consuming process and may entail working up high, subject to your property type. The very first thing that a repointing specialist will perform is a visual inspection to assess the damage and requirements to your brickwork. A thorough inspection is the only way in which a repointing specialist can offer you an estimate for the amount of work needed on your brickwork. Don't assume that all repointing contractors in Rugby provide the same standard of service and the lowest price quote might not always be the best choice.

A second site survey may be required once you accept a quotation and may include the use of step ladders, or possibly even scaffolding, to gain access to out-of-reach parts of your home. This second, more stringent survey may reveal additional problem areas that might impact on the initial estimate. If your property in Rugby is more than sixty years old and has never undergone repointing then it's quite likely to require extra work when compared with a more contemporary building.

A trustworthy repointing contractor or company in Rugby will discuss any issues found with your brickwork and agree the best options for restorative action before starting any work. Most buildings will need a scaffold to establish a sturdy platform from which to do the repointing. Once the scaffold is up some protective sheeting will be attached to the outside of it. This could be polythene sheeting to trap any debris and dust that is generated during the repairs.

Any external wiring, such as TV or satellite cables, will be removed from the walls and pipes will be removed or adjusted to allow easy access to the brickwork behind. When the repointing work is completed all of these will be placed back into their original positions.

Any rendering, pebble-dash, paint or other coverings will now be removed safely to enable the repointing team to access the brickwork and begin their reparation work. When this has been removed the brickwork can be thoroughly cleaned and sanded to establish an even surface for work to begin.

An experienced Rugby repointing company will be able to knock up a small test panel on your brickwork to help you picture the various mortar finishes that are available, (Flush, Weather Struck, Recessed or Tuck pointing). This helps you to see how each will look on your house and highlight the different colours and styles that are available.

The joints in the brickwork are now thoroughly raked out to remove the old mortar and clean the spaces between the bricks. This is quite a laborious process where the old mortar and any loose debris or dust must be carefully cleaned out to produce a decent binding surface for the new mortar. Any window and door openings will be paid extra care by the repointing team to avoid any disturbances of the frames or having excess mortar applied which can cause issues with their opening and closing.

Before fresh mortar is administered, the walls will be dampened to stop it from setting too rapidly. This makes sure that the mortar remains flexible and allows it to dry at a slower pace to prevent cracking, which can lead to a weakened joint. During the mortar application there'll be smears and some excess mortar on the adjacent brickwork which can look messy, however this will be removed once it's dried out. The team will tackle the brickwork in sections, cleaning each one as they go before moving on to a new patch.

During this stage the necessity for any lead flashing work, chimney repairs or brick replacement will be carried out by the contractor.

Once the entire house is repointed and cleaned, and if you would like to re-apply the walls with rendering or repaint the bricks, now is the time to do this. The pipes and cables will be re-positioned and the final stage of the project will be to take down the scaffolding and remove all building waste and debris from the site.

The repointing of your house by an experienced Rugby specialist should mean you won't need to worry yourself about your external brickwork for fifty years or so. All work should be carried out with a satisfaction warranty of at least twelve months and have building and construction industry certifications.

Such accreditation may include: the NFBC (National Federation of Building Contractors), the NHBC (National House-Building Council) and the FMB (Federation of Master Builders), while qualifications can range between NVQ's, City & Guilds and Diplomas from industry specialists such as the Chartered Institute of Building. Each individual who works on your repointing project should also be signed up to the Construction Skills Certification Scheme and be able to prove their ability and skills by producing their CSCS card.
