WHAT ARE THE STEPS FOR REPOINTING BRICKWORK IN REDCAR?

Repointing takes a fair amount of time to complete properly and will entail working at considerable height in a lot of cases. To enable a repointing company to accurately determine the remedial work that's required on your house they will firstly need to undertake a visual inspection. A thorough inspection is the best way by which a repointing specialist can give you an itemised quotation for the level of work that's required on your brickwork. It is invariably better to get price quotes from different repointing contractors in Redcar and examine the levels of service that each of them provides.

It may be that in the first site survey there were some sections of your property that were out-of-reach or inaccessible and in this case a second, more detailed survey might be needed. It may be that this more detailed survey might expose further issues that could cause the initial quotation to increase. The older the building is, the more likely it will be necessary to repoint the mortar, and this is especially true for those homes in Redcar over 60 years old.

A reliable repointing company in Redcar will discuss any problems found with your house and agree the best options for restorative action before starting any work. Most properties will need a scaffold to establish a stable platform from which to do the work. When this has been put up then some kind of protective shielding will be fixed in place. This sheeting will stop any debris or mortar dust from damaging your house, or neighbouring properties, and also adds an extra layer of safety to prevent injuries to anybody that is passing by.

All pipes, cables and conduits that are mounted on the wall may be removed or loosened so that the walls behind them can be accessed. As soon as the project has been finished and all repointing work undertaken these these will be secured back in place.

To allow the repointers to get to the affected brickwork, any rendering, pebble-dash or paint will now have to be removed before work can start. Once this has been removed the bricks can be meticulously cleaned and sanded to establish a uniform surface to work on.

A professional Redcar repointing company should be able to mock up a test panel on your home in order to help you picture the various designs available for the mortar, (Weather Struck, Recessed, Tuck or Flush pointing). This pointing test panel will allow you to see how each technique compares to each other and also which matches the style of your property best.

Now the messy work will begin as the old mortar is removed by raking and cleaning out the joints. This can be quite a laborious process where any dust, debris and old mortar must be painstakingly cleaned away to produce a satisfactory bonding surface for the new mortar. Any windows and doors will be paid extra care by the repointers to prevent any disturbance of the frames or having too much mortar applied which could cause issues with their closing and opening.

Before fresh mortar is administered, the brickwork will be dampened to prevent it from drying out too rapidly. This makes sure that the mortar stays flexible and enables it to dry out at a gentler pace to avoid cracking and generating a weak joint. Any smears and excess mortar that is left on the brickwork can be cleaned away as soon as the mortar is properly dry. The repointers will work on the brickwork in sections, cleaning each one as they go before moving on to a new patch.

It's quite possible that as the repointers are doing their work they may find broken bricks that need replacing, or perhaps a problem with faulty lead flashing or a chimney stack, and an experienced repointer will be in a position to complete such repair work as they go.

Any paint, rendering or other wall covering you require will be applied as soon as all of the remedial repointing work has been completed. The pipes and cables will be reattached and the final phase of the repointing project will be to take down the work platforms and scaffolding and dispose of all debris and building waste.
