To help in safeguarding the brickwork, a lot of buildings in Staveley had their exterior walls painted or rendered. It could be pointing to more severe damage beneath the surface, if you begin to notice bubbling, cracks or flaking of the plaster or paint. It's advisable to seek the help of a skilled repointing specialist who can figure out the cause of the problem, and stop the damage widening and leading to more severe issues at a later date.

WHAT STEPS ARE REQUIRED FOR REPOINTING BRICKWORK IN STAVELEY?

Repointing takes a fair amount of time to complete correctly and will involve working at height in many cases. The first step for a repointing company will be to conduct a visual survey of the building and the magnitude of the work that is required. This inspection will enable them to offer you a quotation for the the entire project. Try to always get no less than three quotations from different repointing specialists in the Staveley area, and examine the levels of service that each of them provide.

It might be that in the initial site survey there were some sections of your house that were inaccessible or out-of-reach and in this instance a second, more detailed survey may be needed. Supplementary charges may be added to the initial quotation, if this second more detailed examination uncovers further issues. If your property in Staveley was built more than 60 years ago and has never previously been repointed then it is quite likely to need additional work when compared with a more modern dwelling.

When all the problems with your brickwork have been found, a decent repointing contractor or company in Staveley will discuss the best options for remedial action. So that a robust working platform is provided for the repointing crew, some form of scaffolding or scaffold tower will be required for most Staveley properties. This might even be necessary for bungalows and single storey buildings. The outside of the scaffolding can then have protective shielding fitted to it. This could be polythene sheeting to trap any dirt and debris that's created during the repair work.

Pipework and cables may have to be removed or adjusted to enable easy access to the walls behind them. On completion of the project all of these will be put back in their appropriate locations.

If your building is rendered, pebble-dashed or painted, these coatings will now be removed to allow the repointers to begin the restoration work. After removal of any coverings all the bricks can be cleaned and sanded to give the repointing team a consistent wall surface to work with.

A reputable Staveley repointing company will be able to mock up a test panel on your property in order to allow you to choose the different styles available for the mortar, (Tuck, Recessed, Flush or Weather Struck pointing). This helps you to see how each design will look on your brickwork and highlight the different colours and styles that are available.

The next thing is to take out the mortar by raking and cleaning out the joints. This is quite a laborious process where the old mortar and any dust or loose debris has to be painstakingly cleaned out to provide a satisfactory bonding surface for the new mortar. Special care and attention is taken around doors and windows as any movement in the brickwork could result in problems with their opening and closing.

One thing that needs to be avoided is the new mortar drying out too rapidly, and this can be prevented by dampening the brickwork. The slower drying time helps to stop the mortar from cracking and becoming inflexible, which can bring about a weakened joint. When it has dried sufficiently it's time to clean off any excess mortar and smears from the adjoining bricks. The repointers will work on the walls in sections, pointing and cleaning each one as they go along before moving on to a new patch.

At this point the need for any lead flashing work, chimney repairs or brick replacement will be undertaken by the contractor.

As soon as the entire house has been repointed and cleaned, and if you would like to re-apply the walls with rendering or repaint the bricks, now will be the time to accomplish this. The cables and pipes will be re-attached and the final phase of the project will be to disassemble the scaffolding and dispose of all debris and building waste.

A reliable Staveley repointing and bricklaying company will provide you with a solution that will last as long as 60 years. They should also provide you with a guarantee for their work and be supported by professional qualifications and accreditation in the building industry.
