The soundness of any structure is only as strong as its bricks and mortar. To prevent any draughts and dampness from forcing its way in through gaps or holes, and thus to keep a home warm and dry, the mortar needs to be in sufficiently good shape. It's pretty easy to figure out when you may need to do some repointing?

It is simply a case of checking your brickwork visually. You have a problem if you can spot a problem! In places such as under eaves or on chimneys it may be necessary to use a professional to check, but in most cases you ought to be able to see for yourself the physical signs of deterioration.

When your house in Market Deeping needs repointing, it is not only the aesthetics that are of concern, there are also safety risks that need to be taken into account. If the mortar becomes badly damaged this can impact on the structural integrity of a building, given that the mortar is the "glue" that binds the structure and shape and keeps it solid. In homes with chimneys and taller structures, any weakness in the framework of the dwelling can have major consequences with regards to property damages and risk of injury.

If your mortar has been neglected through the years, or you are renovating an older property in Market Deeping, you may also have to restore brickwork that's been weakened or damaged. To ensure a perfect finish to your home, a professional Market Deeping brick repointing service will replace any damaged brickwork before completing the whole job with the mortar repointing.

If the exterior brick walls of your Market Deeping property have been rendered or painted in past times you may notice areas that are discoloured or prone to dampness. It could suggest complications with the bricks or mortar allowing damp into the walls, if you see indications of bubbling, flaking or other damage to brickwork that has been painted or rendered. Investigation of this issue, by a professional repointer is the only practical way to make sure the damage doesn't spread more widely and trigger structural challenges down the line. A professional repointing company in Market Deeping can achieve this and help to keep your home in the best condition.

WHAT STEPS ARE REQUIRED IN REPOINTING BRICKWORK IN MARKET DEEPING?

A fair amount of time may be needed to repoint your home in Market Deeping, and working at height may also be necessary. The very first thing a repointing company will do is an eyes-on survey to assess the severity of the damage to your house. Once they have carefully considered all these details, they will be able to supply you with an itemised quote for the complete project. The same level of service will not be offered by all repointing companies in Market Deeping, so make the effort to get at least 3 estimates, and carefully consider each one. Remember, cheapest is not necessarily best!

If you have hard to reach parts of your home that were unable to be assessed during the initial on-site survey, a further inspection with long ladders and perhaps scaffolding could be required. If this more in depth survey uncovers more serious issues, the original quote might have to be be adjusted. If you've got an older home in Market Deeping that is more than 60 years old, it's far more likely to need remedial repointing work than a more contemporary structure.

Repointing work can commence once any trouble spots have been uncovered and agreed with the property owner. It is likely your repointing team will require the erection of scaffolding in order to have a sturdy working platform whilst doing the work on your property. A protective shielding can be fixed to the outside of the scaffold, once it has been put up. This protective sheeting will prevent any mortar dust or other debris from damaging your home, or nearby properties, and also adds an extra layer of safety to help prevent injuries to passers-by.

All cables, pipes and conduits that are fixed to the wall will be loosened or removed to allow access to the brickwork behind them. This is only temporary and they'll be returned to their proper position as soon as all pointing work has been completed.

If your property has previously been pebble-dashed, rendered or painted, these will now need to be removed to enable the repointers to start the restoration work. After the removal of such coverings all the brickwork can be sanded and cleaned, this gives the repointers a standardised wall surface to work on.

To help you pick out the ideal style of pointing for your walls, a good Market Deeping repointing specialist will be able to display the various pointing designs (Weather Struck, Recessed, Flush or Tuck), by the creation of a test panel on your wall. This pointing test panel will allow you to visualise how each of the variations compares with one another and also which matches your style of property best.

Now the messy work begins as the old, damaged mortar is removed by raking and cleaning out the brick joints. This is a time consuming stage and involves the chipping or grinding away of old mortar and brushing out any dust and loose debris to provide a clean surface onto which to apply the new mortar. The repointers will be especially careful around doors, windows and other openings where movement in the brickwork or over application of mortar can cause difficulties in opening and closing them.

Once the joints are clean, the walls should be damped down to prevent the new mortar from drying out too quickly and ultimately cracking. This keeps the mortar flexible and enables it to dry out at a slower pace to avoid cracking, which can lead to a weak joint. During the mortar application there will be excess mortar and smears on the adjoining brickwork that looks sloppy, but this can be removed once it's dried out. The walls will usually be split into areas, and each one in turn will be repointed, allowed to dry, and then cleaned before the team get on with the next section of brickwork.

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

Any paint, rendering or other wall coverings you require will be applied once all of the remedial work has been finished. The final stage of the project will entail all pipes, cables and other fittings mounted back in their rightful positions, the scaffold disassembled and all building waste removed and disposed of.

A competent Market Deeping repointing and bricklaying specialist will provide you with a solution that should last as long as sixty years. Guarantees should be forthcoming for the restoration work and they should have an affiliation with manufacturers and providers from the building industry covering substandard materials.

Such accreditations could include the likes of: the NFBC (National Federation of Building Contractors), the NHBC (National House-Building Council) and the FMB (Federation of Master Builders), while qualifications can range from City & Guilds, Diplomas and NVQ's from construction industry specialists such as the CIOB (Chartered Institute of Building). Additionally, each and every member of the repointing team who works on your house should be a holder of a CSCS card (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) to verify that they have the relevant training and skills to be working on the project.

Ridge Tile Repointing Market Deeping

Ridge tiles and mortar joints should be inspected every other year at least. Repointing simple mortar cracks can prevent leaking roofs and expensive re-roofing jobs in Market Deeping. Pay extra attention to ridge tiles because they are exposed to the extremes of the weather from all sides and may exhibit mortar cracks before other tiles on the roof. If cracks are discovered in the mortar between ridge tiles, the options are rebed the ridge tile or repoint the joints.

The most important thing to remember when repointing in Market Deeping is safety. When working on the roof, be sure to tie off ladders to a sturdy structure. In addition to thinking about your own safety on the roof, it is best to establish a roped-off area on the ground, wherever falling objects may land. Repointing ridge tiles is the same process as repointing blockwork or brick. Once you are secured, use a metal spike to rake out loose mortar in joints that you have decided need repointing. Dampen the joint, apply mortar, and use a pointing trowel to smooth the joints between the ridge tiles.

Tuck Pointing Market Deeping

What is Tuck Pointing? A restoration method that can be used on old and dilapidated brickwork where the mortar is crumbling and unstable, tuck pointing can be very useful. It's goal is to augment the cosmetic appearance of walls, giving the impression that they're well maintained and in better shape than they really are.

A portion of the old, crumbling mortar is removed and this is replaced with a coloured mortar that is as close as possible to the colour of the stone or brick from which the wall is made. Then to make it appear like the joints are tidy and neat, where in fact the joints are actually irregular in width, a thin contrasting line of mortar is applied.

Once done, tuckpointing can be quite effective, and can dramatically improve the overall look of a wall without the need for major refurbishments, especially when observed from afar. tuckpointing services are also available in Deeping St James, Deeping Gate, Glinton, Tallington, Helpston, Newborough, Lolham, Deeping Saint Thomas, Northborough, Baston, Maxey, Langtoft, West Deeping, and in Market Deeping, Lincolnshire.
