To find a suitable solution to repair your brickwork and make sure that it remains watertight, you will have to get hold of a professional Fordingbridge brick repointing company.

You must remember that any property is only as sturdy as the mortar and bricks which hold it together. The mortar must be sound, without any holes or gaps to be able to stop any moisture or draughts from finding a way into your home. But how are you to know when your house needs repointing?

Basically, you need to have a good look at the bricks and mortar of your exterior walls. If troublesome areas can be instantly recognised by this cursory inspection, then its likely that you'll need some repointing work. It might be necessary to use a specialist to examine remote and hard to reach places like chimney stacks or under eaves, but in most houses you should be able to see any indications of deterioration pretty easily.

Deteriorating mortar doesn't only look bad, it can lead to questions of safety too. The overall strength of your Fordingbridge home depends on the condition of the bricks and mortar, and badly crumbling sections can adversely impact on this. In higher structures and houses with chimneys, any weakness in the framework of the building can have alarming consequences in respect to property damage and risk of injury.

It's often the case that impaired or damaged brickwork is the primary reason for any missing or eroding mortar that is found on your property. It's crucial that you employ a respectable brick repointing company in Fordingbridge, so they can replace or repair any damaged brickwork prior to the repointing work being completed. This will guarantee the best possible finish to your house, and no horrible surprises down the road.

The external walls of a lot of Fordingbridge homes will have been painted or plastered over in days past. Damage to either brickwork or mortar under the surface could be implied by flaking, cracks or bubbling of the plaster or paint. Investigation of this problem, by a repointing specialist is the only way to make sure that the deterioration does not spread further and cause structural issues down the road. By using a reputable and qualified repointing specialist you will keep the exterior walls of your home in the best condition possible.

WHAT STEPS ARE REQUIRED IN REPOINTING BRICKWORK IN FORDINGBRIDGE?

Working at height is generally necessary when repointing a home in Fordingbridge, and the overall process can take a fair amount of time. To allow a repointing specialist to accurately determine the restorative work that's required on your brickwork they'll first have to undertake an eyes-on survey. After this, they will be in a position to supply you with an estimate for the renovation and repair work. Don't automatically presume that the best estimate is the cheapest estimate, and make sure to get no less than three quotes before you decide.

A further site survey could be necessary when you accept a quote and may involve the use of step ladders, or perhaps even scaffolding, to gain access to inaccessible areas of your house. If further issues are revealed by this 2nd more meticulous survey, a higher revised quote might result. If your home in Fordingbridge is over 60 years old and has never been repointed previously then it's very likely to need extra work compared to a more up-to-date dwelling.

Reparation work can begin once the problem areas have been uncovered and agreed with the owner of the property. To provide a stable working platform for the repointing contractors, most homes will require a scaffold to be erected. A protective shielding can be secured in place, once the scaffolding is up. This may be polythene sheeting to trap any dust and debris that is created during the repairs.

Any downpipes will have to be adjusted or removed to permit access to the wall surfaces behind, as will all exterior cabling, such as TV or satellite. This is only temporary and they will be put back in their appropriate position when all reparation work has been concluded.

To enable the repointing team to get to the brickwork in question, any rendering, paint or pebble-dash will now have to be removed before work can commence. To guarantee a neat and uniform finish for your external walls, the brickwork surfaces behind such coverings will need to be cleaned and sanded.

A dependable Fordingbridge repointing company will be glad to knock up a test panel on your home to allow you to decide on the various different mortar styles that are available, (Flush, Tuck, Weather Struck or Recessed pointing). This helps you to see how each design will look on your brickwork and demonstrate the different colours and styles available.

Now the dusty work will begin as the old mortar is removed by raking and scraping out the joints. This is a time consuming process and entails the grinding or chipping away of old mortar and brushing out all the dust and loose debris to provide a good platform onto which to apply the new mortar. Any doors and windows will be given extra attention by the repointing team to prevent any excess applications of mortar or disturbances of the frames which could lead to problems with their closing and opening.

To avoid the fresh mortar drying out too fast, the walls will be damped down before the new pointing is started. The delayed drying time helps to stop the mortar from cracking and becoming inflexible, which creates a weakened joint. When it is sufficiently dry the time has come to clean off any smears and excess mortar from the adjacent brickwork. The walls are divided into areas, and each will be pointed, left to dry, and then cleaned up before the repointers get on with the next section of brickwork.

It's quite possible that as the repointers are doing their work they could find damaged brickwork that needs replacing, or maybe a problem with a chimney or lead flashing, and a professional company will be ideally placed to complete these repairs as they progress.

Any paint, render or other wall covering that you require will be re-applied as soon as all of the remedial repointing work has been concluded. The final step of the repointing project will see all pipes, cables and other fittings fixed back into their original positions, scaffolding disassembled and all waste materials removed from the site.

An experienced Fordingbridge repointing and bricklaying specialist will provide you with a restoration that should be good for another sixty years. Warranties that are provided for the repointing should have an affiliation with providers and manufacturers from the construction industry covering defective materials.

If a company has qualifications or accreditations from bodies like the National House Building Council, the National Federation of Building Contractors and the Federation of Master Builders, you can be confident you're using the services of an experienced and trustworthy provider. Moreover, every worker on the repointing crew who does work on your home should hold a Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) card to demonstrate they have the appropriate skills and training to be part of the project.
