Repointing Bagshot

Repointing Bagshot Surrey (GU19): All homes and business premises in Bagshot need a little maintenance every so often. If the bricks on your Bagshot property look a little shabby with missing or crumbling mortar, you'll need to act fast to prevent the situation from worsening. A professional brick repointing specialist in Bagshot will provide an efficient solution to repair your brickwork and guarantee that it stays watertight.

It is the mortar and bricks that make a structure strong and secure against the weather. If the mortar is in an unsatisfactory condition with holes, gaps or eroding sections, then draughts and damp can get into your property and cause many problems to the integrity of the structure. Is it fairly easy to establish when you might need to do some repointing?

It's merely a case of checking your brickwork visually. If you discover damaged areas or parts which look different to the remainder of the house, you might want to speak to a local repointing specialist for a more thorough investigation. In places such as under eaves or on chimneys it might be necessary for a professional to check, but in most cases you should be able to see for yourself the physical signs of degradation.

You've also got to consider the issues of safety that crumbling or damaged mortar joints could potentially cause. Mortar is the binding agent that holds the structure and shape together in any Bagshot house, and when badly damaged can have an impact on the entire integrity of a building. Any weaknesses in the structural integrity can render a dwelling unstable with major implications and maybe even a risk to life.

It might be that crumbling or missing mortar is the result of damaged bricks. A professional Bagshot repointing specialist will repair any damaged bricks before attempting the mortar repointing to achieve a perfect finish to your house.

It might be a situation where in the past your Bagshot property's exterior brick walls were painted or rendered. If you notice flaking, bubbling or cracks of the paint or plaster it could all point to more substantial damage under the surface coating. The only way to figure out a problem of this kind is by hiring a professional brickwork and repointing company who will be able to find the root cause behind the damage. A competent repointing company in Bagshot can achieve this and help keep your home in the best condition possible.

WHAT ARE THE STEPS FOR REPOINTING BRICKWORK IN BAGSHOT?

It takes time to repoint a building and, depending on your property, can also involve working up high. To allow a repointing company to accurately assess the restorative work that is needed on your brickwork they will first need to undertake a visual inspection. This will allow them to supply you with a price quote for the renovation and repair. It is always best to get two or three estimates from different repointing contractors in Bagshot and verify the levels of service offered between them.

It might be that during the first site survey there were some sections of your property that were out-of-reach or inaccessible and in such cases a second, more in depth survey may be needed. A quote after the follow-up survey could even be higher because of problems discovered by this more in depth inspection. The older your structure, the more likely it is to need repointing, and this is especially true for those properties in Bagshot over sixty years old.

Once the problems have been identified then work can start. Even single storey buildings and bungalows might need some form of scaffolding to establish a safe working platform for your repointing team to work from. As soon as this has been put up then some sort of protective sheeting will be secured in place. This could be in the way of polythene sheeting to trap any dust and debris that is created during the repairs.

All conduits, cables and pipes that are mounted on the wall will be loosened or removed to allow access to the brickwork behind them. When the repointing work is completed all pipes and cables will be placed back into their proper locations.

To allow the repointing team to access the brickwork in question, any pebble-dash, rendering or paint will now have to be removed before work can start. The brickwork that's behind such outer coverings will be sanded and cleaned to ensure a uniform finish for your exterior walls.

An experienced Bagshot repointing company will be glad to prepare a small test panel on your brickwork to help you to choose the different designs available for the mortar, (Recessed, Tuck, Weather Struck or Flush pointing). This will help you to get an idea of the final result and ensure your satisfaction with the finished product with regard to style and colour.

Now the messy work will begin as the old mortar is taken out by raking and scraping out the brick joints. This painstaking process takes time because the joints need to be cleaned of any debris, dust and old mortar in order to finish up with a good bonding area for the application of new mortar. Particular care is made around windows and doors as any movement in the brickwork may result in problems with their closing and opening.

To avoid the fresh mortar drying out too quickly, the walls will be damped down before the new pointing commences. This keeps the mortar flexible and enables it to dry out at a gentler pace to avoid cracking and creating a weak joint. When it is sufficiently dry the time has come to clean up any excess mortar and smears from the surrounding bricks. The walls will usually be split into areas, and each will be repointed, left to dry, and then cleaned up before the team move along to a new section of brickwork.

It is possible that as the repointing team are doing their work they might find damaged brickwork that needs replacing, or perhaps a problem with a chimney or faulty lead flashing, and a professional company will be in a position to perform these repairs as they go along.

As soon as the whole of the house has been repointed and cleaned, and if you wish to recover the walls with rendering or re-paint the bricks, then that will now be accomplished. The cables and pipes will be re-attached and the final stage of the project will be to disassemble the work platforms and scaffolding and dispose of all debris and building waste.

The repointing of your house by a reputable Bagshot contractor should mean that you'll not have to worry yourself about your external brickwork for 50 to 60 years. Warranties that are provided for the repointing should have an affiliation with manufacturers and providers from the building industry covering substandard materials.

If a repointing company has accreditation or qualifications from organisations like the Federation of Master Builders, the National Federation of Building Contractors and the National House Building Council, you can be reassured that you are using the services of an experienced and reputable provider. Every individual who works on your repointing project should additionally be signed up to the Construction Skills Certification Scheme and be prepared to demonstrate their ability and skills by showing an appropriate CSCS card.

Logic would say that you are scanning this webpage right now because you uncovered it by searching on Google, Bing, Ask or Yahoo and it was one of the results on the 1st page. However, the page one listings displayed on the notable search engines aren't always the best for your needs.
