WHAT ARE THE STEPS IN REPOINTING BRICKWORK IN RYDE?

It can take quite a while to repoint a building and, subject to the layout of your property, can also involve working up high. To enable a repointing contractor to accurately ascertain the restorative work that is needed on your home they'll first need to carry out a visual survey. A thorough inspection is the best way by which a repointing contractor can offer you a price quote for the amount of work required on your unsound brickwork. You should get 2 or 3 price quotes and don't always assume the cheapest is the best option.

If you have hard to reach sections of your home that couldn't be assessed in the initial site survey, a further inspection with extending ladders and possibly scaffolding may be required. It may be the case that this more detailed survey could uncover more problems that might cause the initial quotation to increase. If your home in Ryde is over sixty years old and has never been repointed then it's very likely to need extra work compared to a more contemporary dwelling.

Work can start as soon as any trouble spots have been detected and discussed with the property owner. Most properties will need to have scaffolding erected to provide a sturdy platform from which to do the work. As soon as the scaffold is in place some protective sheeting will be fixed to the outside of it. This is to avoid any property damage and reduce the risk of injury to everybody in the vicinity of the scaffold.

All pipes, cables and conduits which are fixed to the wall will be removed or their position adjusted so that the walls behind them can be easily accessed. Once the project has been finished and all remedial action carried out these pipes and cables will be put back in position.

To enable the repointing team to get to the affected brickwork, any pebble-dash, rendering or paint will now have to be removed before work may start. After the removal of any coverings all of the bricks can be sanded and cleaned, this gives the repointers a uniform wall surface to work with.

To help you pick out the kind of repointing finish to your walls, a trustworthy Ryde repointing contractor will be glad to show the different pointing styles (Recessed, Flush, Tuck or Weather Struck), by the creation of a test panel on your brickwork. This will help you get an idea of the finished result and make sure you are satisfied with the finished product with regard to style and colour.

The next thing is to take out the old mortar in stages by raking and cleaning out the joints in the brickwork. This painstaking process takes time because the joints need to be cleaned of any old mortar, dust and debris so as to supply a good bonding area for the new mortar to be stick to. Any windows and doors will be paid extra care by the repointers to prevent any distortions of the frames or having too much mortar applied which could cause problems in their closing and opening.

Before fresh mortar is applied, the walls will be damped down to stop it from setting too quickly. This helps create a solid joint by maintaining the flexilibility of the mortar and avoiding cracks. When it is sufficiently dry it's time to clean up any excess mortar and smears from the adjoining brickwork. A wire brush will be used to clean the areas which have been completed before starting on the next portion of the wall needing work.

At this point the necessity for any lead flashing replacement, chimney repairs or brick replacement will be carried out by your contractor.

After the walls have been cleaned for a final time, to achieve a uniform visual appearance, any rendering or re-painting of the finished wall surface can take place. The final step of the project will entail all pipes, cables and other fixtures mounted back into their original locations, scaffolding and work platforms taken down and all waste removed and disposed of.
