The construction of any structure is only as strong as its mortar and bricks. To keep a building dry and warm the mortar needs to be in sufficiently good condition to prevent any dampness or draughts from forcing their way in through holes or gaps. But how do you determine whether or not your home needs to be professionally repointed?

Simply put, you need to inspect your external walls and check for any damage. Repointing work is usually needed if you can visually identify a problem area. You ought to be able to spot yourself in most circumstances the external signs of degradation, but in areas such as under eaves or on chimneys it could be necessary to use a specialist to check for you.

It's not only that crumbling mortar looks poor, there are safety issues that can result from this as well. The integrity of any Edwinstowe home is only as effective as its mortar and bricks. A property can become unstable if it's structure is compromised in this way, and it can cause serious damage and even a risk to life, particularly when present in tall buildings or chimneys.

Frequently it's a situation where weakened or damaged bricks are the main reason behind any eroding or missing mortar that you uncover on your property. A reliable brick repointing company in Edwinstowe will be able to identify any areas that require possible replacement and offer a service to restore the brickwork while doing the repointing.

It could be the case that in past times your Edwinstowe property's external brick walls have been rendered over or painted. Deterioration in either mortar or brickwork beneath the surface could be implied by flaking, bubbling or cracks in the rendering or paint. The only practical way to guarantee the damage does not spread further and cause structural issues as time goes on, is to get an expert contractor to investigate. Any dependable repointing business in Edwinstowe will be willing to perform a service like this and keep your house safe and looking good.

WHAT ARE THE STEPS IN REPOINTING BRICKWORK IN EDWINSTOWE?

It can take quite a while to repoint a whole house and, depending on the design of your home, can also involve working at height. To enable a repointing company to accurately determine the remedial work required on your brickwork they'll first need to carry out a visual inspection. A survey is the best way by which a repointing company can offer you an itemised quote for the volume of work needed on your brickwork. Never assume all repointing specialists in Edwinstowe provide the same standard of service and the lowest quotation might not necessarily be the best choice.

It could be that during the original on-site survey there were some parts of your property that were out-of-reach or inaccessible and in this case a second, more in depth survey may be needed. This second survey could uncover additional trouble spots that could impact on the original estimate. If you've got an older home in Edwinstowe that is over 60 years old, it's far more likely to require remedial repointing work than a more modern property.

A decent repointing company in Edwinstowe will discuss any issues found with your home and explore the best methods of remedial action before beginning any actual work. Most buildings will require scaffolding to be erected to provide a secure platform from which to do the work. When this has been erected then a method of protective shielding will be secured in position. This could be in the way of plastic sheeting to collect any dirt and debris that is generated during the process.

Pipes and cables may have to be removed or adjusted to allow ease of access to the walls behind them. This is of course only a temporary measure and they'll be returned to their appropriate position once all repointing work has been concluded.

Any rendering, pebble-dash, paint or other coverings will now be removed carefully to enable the repointing team to gain access to the brickwork and press ahead with their repair work. Once this has been done the bricks can be diligently cleaned and sanded to establish an even surface for work to begin.

To help you decide on the kind of repointing finish to your walls, a good Edwinstowe repointing specialist will be glad to display the different pointing styles (Weather Struck, Flush, Recessed or Tuck), by creating a test panel on your wall. This enables you to see how each will look on your home and highlight the different styles and colours on offer.

Now the messy work will begin as the old, damaged mortar is taken out by raking and scraping out the joints. This can be quite a laborious process where any dust, debris and old mortar has to be painstakingly cleaned out to produce a satisfactory bonding surface for the new mortar. Any doors and windows will be paid extra care by the repointing team to prevent any surplus applications of mortar or distortion of the frames which could lead to problems with their closing and opening.

To avoid the fresh mortar drying out too quickly, the brickwork will be damped down before any new pointing is started. The delayed drying time helps to stop the mortar from becoming inflexible and cracking, which can create a weaker joint. During the mortar application there will be excess mortar and smears on the brickwork which looks messy, however this will be removed once it has dried out. A wire brush can be used to clean the areas that have been finished before starting on the next part of the wall requiring work.

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

Any paint, render or other wall coverings that you need will be applied once all repointing work has been concluded. After the pipes and TV and satellite cables are placed back in position the scaffolding will be removed and all of the debris and waste disposed of.

An established Edwinstowe repointing and bricklaying company will provide a service that should be good for another sixty years. All restoration work should be provided with a satisfaction warranty of at least 12 months and have building and construction industry accreditations.
