Repointing Brigg

Repointing Brigg Lincolnshire (DN20): Every Brigg house will require a little repair and maintenance every once in awhile, no matter how old it actually is. Houses in Brigg are impacted by all sorts of weather, pollution and other adverse factors that may affect the condition of the mortar or cement between the brickwork, and should you discover evidence of this you might have to call someone. A reliable brick repointing contractor in Brigg will offer an effective solution to repoint your brickwork and ensure that it stays watertight.

The construction of any property is only as good as its mortar and bricks. To stop any moisture or draughts from forcing their way in through holes or gaps, and thus to keep your property dry and warm, the mortar needs to be in sufficiently good shape. But how can you spot when your brickwork needs a specialist to repoint it?

It really is just a matter of checking your brickwork visually. You have an issue if you can see an issue! It might be necessary to call in an expert to inspect hard to reach places such as chimneys or under eaves, but in many homes you should be able to spot any signs of deterioration relatively easily.

Not only does crumbling mortar look awful, there are issues of safety that can be triggered by this too. If the mortar is seriously damaged this can impact on the integrity of a structure, seeing as the mortar is the "glue" that binds the structure and shape to keep it strong. There could be serious implications and perhaps even a threat to life, in properties that have become unsound and compromised in this manner.

If some of the brickwork has been weakened or damaged over time and is seen to be the main cause of the problems with your mortar joints it might need to be removed and replaced. To achieve the perfect finish to your property, a respectable Brigg brick repointing service will replace or restore any defective bricks before concluding the mortar joint repointing.

If the external walls of your Brigg property have been rendered or painted in past times you may see patches that are discoloured or prone to damp. If you begin to detect flaking, bubbling or cracks of the render or paint it could point to more severe damage underneath. The only effective way to make sure that the damage does not spread more widely and cause structural complications down the road, is to get a professional contractor to investigate. You can then have the satisfaction knowing that your outside walls are in the best possible condition, and that the renovation work has been carried out by a specialist.

WHAT ARE THE STEPS IN REPOINTING BRICKWORK IN BRIGG?

Repointing is a lengthy process and may entail working at height, depending on your property type. To check the extent of the damage and the work that's needed on your structure, the first step for a repointing company will be to perform a visual survey of the brickwork. A survey is the only way in which a repointing specialist can give you an estimate for the volume of work required on your unsound brickwork. The same level of service may not be provided by all repointing contractors in the Brigg area, so make certain that you obtain a minimum of 3 quotes, and carefully consider each of them.

If you have hard to reach parts of your house that couldn't be checked out during the original site survey, a further inspection with ladders and perhaps scaffolding may be required. If further, more serious issues are exposed by this second more in depth survey, a higher revised estimate could result. If your property in Brigg is more than sixty years old and has never previously been repointed then it is quite likely to require extra work than a more current building.

Work can commence once any problem areas have been uncovered and agreed with the owner of the property. To provide a sturdy platform for the repointing crew, most buildings will require a scaffold to be put up. As soon as the scaffold is in position some protective sheeting will be fixed on its outer side. This is to minimise the danger of harm to people in the surrounding area, and prevent damage to your property from falling debris.

To allow access to all of the brickwork, any conduits, piping and wires that are attached to the wall may have to be removed or adjusted. These will all be re-attached as soon as the pointing is complete.

If the brickwork on your dwelling in Brigg is pebble-dashed, painted or rendered, these coverings must be stripped off to enable access to the bare brick surfaces. The exposed brickwork will then need to be thoroughly sanded and cleaned, so that your external walls have an even and neat finish.

If you haven't decided upon a a style of pointing (Weather Struck, Recessed, Tuck or Flush pointing), or you would like to see how the various different pointing methods look on your home, an experienced Brigg repointing specialist will be glad to mock up a test panel on your brickwork. This will allow you to get a good idea of the finished result and guarantee your satisfaction with regard to colour and style.

The next thing is to remove the mortar in stages by raking and cleaning out the joints in the brickwork. This is a time consuming stage and involves the chipping or grinding away of old mortar and brushing out all the loose debris and dust to provide a good platform onto which to apply the new mortar. Any doors and windows will be paid extra care by the repointing team to prevent any disturbance of the frames or having excess mortar applied which can lead to problems with their closing and opening.

Once the joints have been cleaned, the walls should be damped down to stop the new mortar from drying out too quickly and subsequently cracking. This makes sure that the mortar remains flexible and enables it to dry out at a gentler pace to avoid cracking and creating a weakened joint. Any smears and excess mortar that is left on the brickwork can be cleaned off as soon as the mortar has had sufficient time for drying. A wire brush will be used to clean the areas which have been completed before starting on the next section of the wall requiring work.

It's possible that as the repointers are doing their work they may find broken brickwork that needs replacing, or perhaps problems with faulty lead flashing or a chimney stack, and an experienced repointer will be ideally placed to carry out such repair work as they go.

Once the entire property has been repointed and cleaned, and if you would like to repaint the bricks or re-apply the rendering, then that will now be completed. The final phase of the project will see all pipes, cables and other fixtures fixed back in their original locations, work platforms and scaffolding dismantled and all waste materials removed from the site.

Your brick repair and repointing should be good for fifty to sixty years so long as it's applied by a certified and professional repointing contractor in Brigg. All repointing work should be provided with a guarantee of at least 12 months and have building and construction industry credentials.

If a company has qualifications or accreditations from trade bodies like the NFBC (National Federation of Building Contractors), the NHBC (National House-Building Council) and the FMB (Federation of Master Builders), you can be reassured that you're dealing with an experienced and qualified business. Additionally, each and every one of the repointing crew who does work on your home should hold a CSCS card (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) to prove they have the relevant training and skills for their respective role in the project.
