WHAT ARE THE STEPS IN REPOINTING BRICKWORK IN DULVERTON?

Subject to the sort of property you have, repointing will normally involve working up high, and it can be a lengthy process. Step one for a repointing specialist will be to perform an eyes-on survey of the property and the work that's required. After this, they will be able to offer you a quote for the repair and restoration work. Always try to get at least 3 estimates from local repointing companies in Dulverton, and evaluate the standards of service provided by each of them.

It might be that during the first on-site survey there were some areas of your property that were inaccessible or hard to reach and in such cases a second, more in depth survey may be necessary. It's quite possible that this more detailed survey could uncover more problems that could increase the initial quotation. If your Dulverton home has not been repointed previously and was built more than sixty years ago, it is likely to need more restoration work than a modern one would.

As soon as all the problems with your house have been identified, a decent repointing contractor or company in Dulverton will go over the most effective options for restorative action. Most homes will need a scaffold to establish a stable platform from which to do the repointing. A protective shielding can be fixed in position, as soon as the scaffold is up. This shielding should prevent any mortar dust or other debris from harming your property, or neighbouring properties, and is also a safety measure to prevent injuries to passers-by.

All pipes, conduits and cables which are attached to the wall may be loosened or removed so that the brickwork behind them can be easily accessed. These can all be re-fixed as soon as the repointing work is complete.

If the brickwork on your house in Dulverton is pebble-dashed, rendered or painted, these types of coverings must be stripped off to enable access to the bare brick surfaces. A thorough cleaning and sanding of the brickwork behind these coverings will then be essential, to guarantee that your finished walls are neat and uniform upon completion.

If you have not yet decided on a a pointing style (Recessed, Flush, Weather Struck or Tuck pointing), or you would like to see how the various different pointing options look on your home, a competent Dulverton repointing contractor will be able to mock up a test section on your brickwork. This should help you get a good idea of the finished result and make sure that you are satisfied with the finished product with regard to colour and style.

The next step is to remove the old mortar by raking and cleaning out the joints in the brickwork. This is a very time consuming stage and entails the grinding or chipping away of old mortar and brushing away all the dust and loose debris to provide a nice, clean surface onto which to apply the new mortar. The repointers will be especially careful around windows, doors and other openings where any movement of brickwork or an over application of mortar can cause difficulties in closing and opening them.

One thing that must be avoided is the new mortar drying out too quickly, and this can be prevented by dampening the brickwork. This helps produce a strong joint by keeping the mortar flexible and avoiding cracks. When it is sufficiently dry it's time to clean off any excess mortar and smears from the surrounding brickwork. The walls will be split into areas, and each will be pointed, allowed to dry, and then cleaned before the repointers get on with a new section of wall.

If any chimney repairs, lead flashing replacement or brick replacement needs to be done by the repointing company during the work, now is the time when these tasks will be carried out.

Any paint, render or other wall covering you require will be applied as soon as all of the repointing work has been finished. The final stage of the repointing project will see all pipes, cables and other fixtures put back in their original locations, scaffolding dismantled and all building waste removed and disposed of.

Your brick repointing should be good for another 50 to 60 years provided that it's undertaken by a skilled and professional repointing specialist in Dulverton.

Tuck Pointing Dulverton

Tuck pointing is a procedure for repointing old and deteriorating brick or stonework where the mortar joints are unstable and crumbling. The aesthetic look of walls can be improved with this technique, giving the illusion that they are in far better condition than they actually are, and giving the impression of well-formed brickwork.

This process involves removing the crumbling, old mortar and replacing it with a mortar mixture that's colour-matched to the stone or brick that makes up the wall. A narrow contrasting line of lighter mortar is then applied to give the impression that the joints are even and neat, where in fact the joints are in fact wide and irregular.

Without the need for any disruptive renovations, the impact of tuck-pointing can be quite eye-catching, in particular when seen from a distance, and can vastly enhance the overall look of a wall. tuckpointing services are also available in West Anstey, Hawkridge, Morebath, Exebridge, Brompton Regis, Brushford, Great Highleigh, Nightcott, Timewell, Battleton, Upcott, Higher Combe, East Anstey, Skilgate, Oldways End, and in Dulverton itself.
