Repointing Datchet

Repointing Datchet Berkshire (SL3): Irrespective of how old your home or business premises in Datchet is, there will come a time when a little maintenance is needed. You'll need professional help to prevent it from getting worse, if you have discovered that the cement or mortar on the brickwork of your Datchet property is crumbling and cracking. An experienced brick repointing contractor in Datchet will offer a cost effective solution to repair your brickwork and make sure that it remains watertight.

The bricks and mortar are what make a house sound enough to withstand the elements. To keep a structure dry and warm the mortar must be in sufficiently good condition to prevent any damp or draughts from forcing their way in through gaps or holes. But precisely how can can you be sure whether your property needs repointing or not?

In essence, you need to examine your outside walls and check for any damage. If you can spot an issue then you've got an issue. Most of the time you'll be able to see any physical signs of deterioration, but in sections which are remote or hidden, such as under eaves or on chimneys; you might need to call on the services of a specialist to assist you.

It's not merely that defective mortar looks unsightly, there are safety issues that come out of this as well. The mortar is the main foundation of strength for your Datchet home and is the "glue" that holds the shape and structure together. In taller structures and houses with chimneys, any weakness in the framework of the building can have alarming implications in respect to property damages and risk of injury.

If your mortar has been neglected through the years, or you are renovating an older property in Datchet, you might also have to repair brickwork that's been damaged or weakened. It's vital that you hire a respectable brick repointing contractor in Datchet, so they can repair or replace any damaged bricks before the repointing work is carried out. This will guarantee a perfect finish to your property, and no unpleasant surprises later on.

Many Datchet properties in the past had their exterior brick walls plasterered over or painted to help shield the brickwork. If you start to see flaking, cracks or bubbling of the rendering or paint it could point to more serious damage beneath the surface. Bringing in an expert brickwork and repointing specialist, is really the only safe way to investigate an issue of this type, and actually find the real cause. A competent repointing specialist in Datchet can achieve this and help keep your property in the best condition.

WHAT STEPS ARE REQUIRED FOR REPOINTING BRICKWORK IN DATCHET?

It takes time to repoint a whole house and, subject to the layout of your home, can also involve working up high. To determine the level of damage and the work that's needed on your structure, the initial step for a repointing business will be to perform a visual inspection of the site. This inspection will enable them to give you a quote for the necessary work. It is always advisable to get price quotes from different repointing contractors in Datchet and verify the standard of service offered between them.

It could be that in the first site survey there were some sections of your house that were hard to reach or inaccessible and in this instance a second, more thorough survey might be required. A quotation after the second survey could be higher owing to issues found during this more detailed inspection. Extra work will likely be required if your home in Datchet is more than 60 years old and has never been repointed previously.

Reparation work can begin as soon as the trouble spots have been detected and discussed with the owner of the property. Most homes will require scaffolding to be erected to establish a secure working platform for the repointing team. As soon as the scaffolding is up a protective sheet will be attached on its outer side. This could be plastic sheeting to trap any debris and dirt that's created during the process.

Wires and pipework might need to be removed or adjusted to allow easy access to the walls behind them. When the repointing work is completed all pipes and cables will be placed back into their original positions.

Any rendering, paint, pebble-dash or other covering will now be removed safely to enable the repointing team to access the brickwork and begin their restorative work. The brickwork behind these coverings will be cleaned and sanded to make sure that the finish on your brickwork is consistent.

If you've not decided upon a style of finish (Recessed, Tuck, Weather Struck or Flush pointing), or you want to see how the different pointing options look on your home, a professional Datchet repointing company will be happy to mock up a test panel on your property. This should help you get a good idea of the finished result and make sure that you're satisfied with regard to colour and style.

The next thing is to remove the mortar in stages by raking and scraping out the joints. This is a laborious process where any debris, dust and old mortar has to be painstakingly cleaned away to produce a satisfactory binding surface for the new mortar. The repointing team will be especially watchful around doors, windows and openings where any movement of brickwork or an over application of mortar can result in difficulty in closing and opening them.

So that the new mortar doesn't dry out too quickly, the walls will be damped down before any new pointing is started. This slower drying time helps to stop the mortar from becoming inflexible and cracking, which can bring about a weakened joint. During the application of the mortar there will be excess mortar and smears on the surrounding brickwork that can look untidy, but this can be removed as soon as it's dried out. The walls are split into areas, and each will be pointed, left to dry, and then cleaned up before the team move on to a new section.

It's quite possible that as the repointers are doing their work they may find broken bricks that need replacing, or perhaps problems with a chimney or lead flashing, and a professional company will be able to complete these repair work as they progress.

Any paint, rendering or other wall coverings you require will be applied as soon as all the remedial work has been completed. The final step of the project will entail all pipes, cables and other fixtures fixed back in their original locations, work platforms and scaffolding taken down and all building waste removed from the site.

Your brickwork repointing can last between 50-60 years provided that it is undertaken by a skilled and professional repointing contractor in Datchet. Guarantees that are provided for the repointing should be affiliated with with providers and manufacturers from the construction industry giving cover for substandard materials.

If a building contractor has accreditation or qualifications from trade bodies such as the Federation of Master Builders, the National House Building Council and the National Federation of Building Contractors, you can be confident you're using the services of a professional and respected provider.
