WHAT STEPS ARE REQUIRED FOR REPOINTING BRICKWORK IN HETHERSETT?

Repointing is a time consuming process and can involve working up high, depending on the style of your property. When you make contact with a repointing firm, the first thing that they will want to do is conduct a visual inspection of the building, so they can determine the work that's required and the extent of any damage. This survey will enable them to offer you an estimate for the necessary work. Do not assume all repointing companies in Hethersett provide the same standard of service and the lowest price quote might not necessarily be the best choice.

After you've accepted a particular quote, an additional site survey might be necessary using a ladder or even a scaffold to properly inspect your building and access those out-of-reach areas. If this second more in depth survey reveals more serious issues, the original quote may need to be revised. If you've got an older home in Hethersett that's more than 60 years old, it's far more likely to require repair work on repointing than a more contemporary building.

As soon as any problems have been confirmed then work can begin. It's quite possible that your repointing specialist will need a scaffold so as to have a sturdy platform while working on your property. Once the scaffolding is up a protective sheet will be attached to the outside of it. This is to prevent any damage to property and reduce any risk of injury to people in the immediate working area.

Any pipes will have to be adjusted or removed to permit easy access to the wall surfaces behind, as will all external wires, for instance satellite or TV. These will all be re-attached once the project has been concluded.

Many buildings in Hethersett are either pebble-dashed, painted or rendered, and if this is the situation with your home, these cosmetic coverings will have to be stripped off so that the pointing specialists can get to the brickwork. The brickwork behind these coverings will be sanded and cleaned to make sure that the finish on your brickwork is uniform.

A professional Hethersett repointing company should be able to mock up a small test panel on your brickwork to help you to decide on the various different finishes available for the mortar, (Flush, Weather Struck, Recessed or Tuck pointing). This helps you see how each design would look on your property and showcase the different styles and colours available.

Now the messy work begins as the old mortar is removed by raking and cleaning out the brick joints. This is an incredibly time consuming stage and involves the chipping or grinding away of old mortar and brushing away all the loose debris and dust to provide a good platform onto which to apply the new mortar. Special care and attention is taken around doors and windows because any movement in the brickwork may result in issues with their opening and closing.

Before any fresh mortar is administered, the brickwork will be damped down to stop it from setting too rapidly. This delayed drying time stops the mortar from cracking and becoming inflexible, which creates a weakened joint. When it has dried sufficiently the time has come to clean up any excess mortar and smears from the surrounding brickwork. The repointers will tackle the brickwork in sections, pointing and cleaning each one as they go before starting on a new patch.

During this stage the need for any chimney repairs, brick replacement or lead flashing work will be completed by your contractor.

After cleaning the brickwork for one final time, to get a uniform appearance over the whole area, any re-painting or rendering of the finished wall surfaces can be done. The cables and pipes will be re-positioned and the final phase of the project will be to take down the scaffold and remove all building waste and debris from the site.

Your brickwork repointing ought to last for another 50-60 years providing it is undertaken by a qualified and reputable repointing specialist in Hethersett. They should also provide you with a warranty to their work and be backed by professional qualifications in the building and construction industry.
