WHAT ARE THE STEPS FOR REPOINTING BRICKWORK IN FLEET?

Repointing can be a lengthy process and can involve working at height, depending on your property type. To permit a repointing business to accurately determine the repair work that is needed on your home they'll first have to carry out a visual survey. This survey will allow them to offer you an itemised quotation for the necessary work. Remember to always get 2 or 3 price quotes and don't automatically assume the cheapest is the best option.

It could be that in the first site survey there were some areas of your house that were out-of-reach or inaccessible and in cases like this a further, more detailed survey may be required. It could be that this more in depth survey might reveal further issues that may increase the original quotation. If your property in Fleet is over sixty years old and has never been repointed then it's quite likely to require additional work compared to a more up-to-date building.

Once the problems have been identified then reparation work can commence. Even single storey buildings and bungalows might need some sort of scaffold to establish a safe working platform for your repointing team to work from. Once the scaffolding is in place a protective sheet will be attached on its outer side. This could be in the way of plastic sheeting to trap any dirt and debris that is created during the repair work.

All pipes, cables and conduits which are mounted on the wall may be removed or loosened so that the brickwork behind them can be accessed. As soon as the project has been completed and all remedial action carried out these these will be put back in place.

If your building is pebble-dashed, rendered or painted, these coatings will now be removed to allow the repointing contractors to start the repair work. The brickwork that's hiding behind such outer coverings will be sanded and cleaned to ensure a uniform finish for your exterior walls.

If you have not decided on a a pointing style (Flush, Recessed, Tuck or Weather Struck pointing), or you wish to see how the different pointing methods appear on your house, a professional Fleet repointing specialist will be able to mock up a test panel on your property. This helps you see how each would look on your brickwork and showcase the different styles and colours available.

Now the messy work will begin as the old, damaged mortar is taken out by raking and scraping out the joints. This is an extremely time consuming process and involves the grinding or chipping away of old mortar and brushing out all the loose debris and dust to provide a clean surface for the application of new mortar. The repointing team will be particularly cautious around doors, windows and other openings where the movement of brickwork or over application of mortar can result in difficulty in opening and closing them.

To avoid the fresh mortar drying out too fast, the walls will be damped down before any new pointing is started. This makes sure that the mortar stays flexible and enables it to dry at a gentler pace to avoid cracking and creating a weakened joint. Any smears and excess mortar that is left on the bricks can be cleaned away as soon as the mortar is properly dry. The repointers will tackle the brickwork in small sections, pointing and cleaning each one in turn before starting on a new area.

If any chimney repairs, brick replacement or lead flashing work needs to be done by the repointing company as part of the project, now's the time when these tasks will be carried out.

After cleaning the walls for a final time, to obtain a uniform visual appearance, any rendering or re-painting of the completed wall surface can take place. The final step of the repointing project will entail all pipes, cables and other fixtures mounted back into their rightful locations, scaffold taken down and all waste materials removed from the site.
