Repointing Clitheroe

Repointing Clitheroe Lancashire (BB7) Area: Most people don't notice the mortar in their brickwork until bits start to drop on the path or a draught starts creeping through the lounge wall. Repointing is one of those jobs that quietly keeps a house standing sturdy and solid. In the Clitheroe area you will see plenty of older brickwork where the joints have turned sandy & weather-worn, and that is usually the first sign that the place needs a bit of proper care & attention.

You must realise that mortar is not just cosmetic filler, it actually holds the load & helps to keep water out. As soon as rain gets behind the brick face it works its way indoors and suddenly you've got damp patches & peeling paint inside your property. A lot of homeowners in Clitheroe will try mortar patch kits, but the colour rarely matches and the bond tends to be weak. That kind of DIY fix will probably last for just one winter, if that.

Professional repointing services will always know how deep to rake out the joints & how the mix should feel on the trowel. Its a bit of a craft really, not just smearing cement around haphazardly. Using the wrong mix can trap moisture and cause the bricks themselves to crack. You will often see walls in the Clitheroe area spall because someone has used a rock hard modern mortar on soft older brick.

Scaffolding, dust sheets & steady hands are more important than most people think. You need the joints to be cleaned right back and brushed out thoroughly, or the new mortar will not grab in the correct way. A proper repointing team in Clitheroe will also work in sections, so the wall cures evenly. Rushing this type of work can lead to shrinkage lines & a patchwork appearance that nobody wants.

Chimneys are another weak spot because they catch every bit of weather that is going. The mortar washes out quicker up there & small gaps can soon turn into proper leaks around the loft area. Many homeowners in Clitheroe will only notice this when staining appears on ceilings, by then the joints are well past a quick tidy-up.

Garden walls often get ignored the most. They take rain from both sides and often have no coping on top, so the joints wash away quickly. When a garden wall starts leaning it is rarely the bricks that are fault, its because the mortar has gone powdery. Plenty of properties in Clitheroe have lost a boundary wall after a frosty winter, because nobody repointed in time.

There is also the safety side of things to consider when repointing. Loose mortar allows bricks to wobble & it can drop onto paths or cars, not something that you really want outside your front door in Clitheroe. Skilled professionals will check for movement, will replace damaged bricks, and will tidy the joints so that water sheds away. That peace of mind is worth more than the cost of the job to be honest.

Good repointing is not about being flashy, it just makes a house look crisp & solid again. If you are thinking of selling, potential buyers will notice it even if they don't realise why the place feels so well kept. Getting a proper repointing team in Clitheroe will help to save on repairs in the future, and will keep the building looking like it should, which is the whole point of the process really.
