WHAT ARE THE STEPS IN REPOINTING BRICKWORK IN COSELEY?

Repointing takes quite a bit of time to accomplish successfully and will involve working at height in the majority of cases. A visual survey is the first step in this process and will evaluate the extent of the remedial work that is needed on your home. This survey will enable them to provide you with an estimate for the the entire project. It is always advisable to get two or three price quotes from different repointing companies in Coseley and verify the standard of service that each of them provides.

A further site survey may be needed as soon as you accept a quote and might involve the use of ladders, or possibly even scaffolding, to access hard to reach parts of your property. It's quite possible that this more comprehensive survey may expose further problems that might cause the first price quote to increase. If your property in Coseley is over sixty years old and has never previously been repointed then it is very likely to require additional work when compared with a more up-to-date building.

Work can commence once the problem areas have been uncovered and agreed with the property owner. Even single storey buildings and bungalows might need some form of scaffold to establish a secure working platform for your repointing team to work from. An arrangement of protective shielding or sheeting should then be secured to the exterior of the scaffold. This could be in the way of plastic sheeting to collect any dirt and debris that is created during the repairs.

All external cables, such as TV or satellite, will be unfastened from the walls and any pipework will be adjusted or removed to allow easy access to the brickwork behind. When the project has been finished and all repointing work carried out these pipes and cables will be secured back in place.

If your brickwork has been pebble-dashed, painted or rendered, these coverings will now need to be removed to allow the repointers to start the renovation project. After the removal of such coverings all brickwork will be sanded and cleaned to give the repointers a uniform surface to work with.

If you have not chosen a style of finish (Tuck, Weather Struck, Flush or Recessed pointing), or you would like to see how the various pointing options look on your house, a decent Coseley repointing company will be glad to mock up a test panel on your property. This enables you to see how each design would look on your house and highlight the different styles and colours that are available.

The brick joints are now raked out to remove the old, crumbling mortar and clean the spaces between the bricks. This is quite a laborious procedure where the old mortar and any loose debris or dust has to be painstakingly removed to produce a satisfactory binding surface for the new mortar. Particular care is taken around doors and windows because any movement in the brickwork can result in issues with their closing and opening.

Before any fresh mortar is administered, the brickwork will be dampened to stop it from drying out too quickly. This helps create a solid joint by keeping the mortar flexible and avoiding cracks. During the application of the mortar there'll be excess mortar and smears on the brickwork which can look untidy, but this can be removed once it has dried out. The team will tackle the brickwork in small sections, cleaning each one as they go before moving on to a new area.

It's quite possible that as the repointers are working they could find damaged bricks that need replacing, or maybe a problem with a damaged chimney or faulty lead flashing, and a professional company will be ideally placed to perform these repair work as they progress.

Once the entire building has been repointed and cleaned, and if you wish to re-paint the bricks or re-apply the rendering, now is the time to accomplish this. After the cables and pipes have been put back into place, scaffolding will be removed and all the debris and waste is taken away from the site.
