Mortar is the "glue" that binds everything together in any Cheadle Hulme house, and when badly in poor condition can impact on the stability of a structure.

A decent repointing company in Cheadle Hulme can achieve this and help to keep your house in the best condition possible.

WHAT ARE THE STEPS FOR REPOINTING BRICKWORK IN CHEADLE HULME?

Repointing can be a lengthy process and may involve working at height, depending on your property type. To enable a repointing business to accurately ascertain the repair work that's required on your property they'll first have to carry out a visual inspection. This survey will enable them to give you an itemised quotation for the work required and the labour costs. Remember to always get 2 or 3 quotations and don't always assume cheapest is best.

If you have hard to reach sections of your property that were unable to be assessed during the initial site survey, a further inspection with extending ladders and maybe scaffolding could be necessary. A quote after the second survey could even be higher thanks to issues found in this more in depth inspection. The older your structure is, the more chance that it is going to need repointing, and this is particularly so for those houses in Cheadle Hulme which are more than 60 years old.

A reliable repointing company in Cheadle Hulme will go over any problems found with your house and explore the most effective methods of repair before commencing any actual physical work. Even bungalows and single storey buildings may require some sort of scaffolding to provide a secure working platform for your repointing team. As soon as this has been erected then a method of protective sheeting will be fixed in place. This helps to prevent any damage to property and reduce the injury risk to anyone in the vicinity of the work.

All exterior cabling, such as satellite or TV, will be detached from the walls and any pipes will be adjusted or removed to allow access to the brickwork behind. This is only a temporary measure and they'll be put back in their proper position once all repointing work has been completed.

Any rendering, pebble-dash, paint or other coverings will now need to be removed carefully to allow the repointing contractors to gain access to the brickwork and move along with their remedial work. Once this has been done the brickwork is thoroughly sanded and cleaned to provide an even surface to work on.

To help you pick out the ideal form of pointing for your walls, a good Cheadle Hulme repointing contractor will be able to demonstrate the different pointing styles (Tuck, Weather Struck, Recessed or Flush), by the creation of a test panel on your brickwork. This should help you get an idea of the finished result and make certain you're satisfied with the finished product with regard to colour and style.

The joints in the brickwork are now vigorously raked out to remove the old, damaged mortar and clean the spaces between the bricks. This can be quite a laborious procedure where the old mortar and any dust or loose debris has to be painstakingly removed to produce a good bonding surface for the new mortar. Special care is taken around doors and windows since any movement in the brickwork can lead to issues with their opening and closing.

Before any fresh mortar is applied, the brickwork will be damped down to prevent it from drying out too rapidly. The slower drying time helps to stop the mortar from becoming inflexible and cracking, which can lead to a compromised joint. Any excess mortar and smears that are left on the bricks can be cleaned off once the mortar is thoroughly dry. The repointers will work on the brickwork in small sections, cleaning each one as they go along before starting on a new patch.

If any chimney repairs, brick replacement or lead flashing replacement is found to be needed by the repointing company during the work, now is the time when these repairs will be undertaken.

After the brickwork has been cleaned for one final time, to obtain a uniform visual appearance, any rendering or painting of the finished wall surfaces can take place. The cables and pipes will be re-positioned and the final stage of the repointing project will be to disassemble the work platforms and scaffolding and remove all debris and building waste from the site.

An experienced Cheadle Hulme repointing and bricklaying company will provide a service that should be good for another sixty years. They should also give you a guarantee for their work and be backed by professional qualifications in the construction and building industry.

Accreditation could take many forms, but those that stand out with regards to repointing are: the FMB (Federation of Master Builders), the NHBC (National House-Building Council) and the NFBC (National Federation of Building Contractors), with qualifications from industry leaders like the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB). Furthermore, each and every member of the repointing team who works on your home should be a member of the Construction Skills Certification Scheme to verify they have the appropriate skills and training to be working on the project.
