Repointing Todmorden

Repointing Todmorden West Yorkshire (OL14): All properties in Todmorden require a bit of maintenance every so often. If the bricks on your Todmorden property look a little shabby with missing or crumbling mortar, you'll want to act quickly to prevent the condition from deteriorating. It is imperative to keep the brickwork in excellent shape to keep your property watertight, and the most effective solution is to hire the services of a brick repointing expert in Todmorden.

It is the mortar and bricks that make a house sturdy and secure against the elements. To keep a building dry and warm the mortar has to be in good enough condition to stop any draughts and water from forcing its way in through holes or gaps. Is it fairly easy to figure out when you might need to do some repointing?

It's simply a matter of visually checking your brickwork. If you find damaged areas or sections that look different to the remainder of the building, you may need to contact a professional repointing company for a more thorough investigation. Most of the time you'll be able to see any physical signs of deterioration, but in areas that are out of reach, such as under eaves or on chimneys; you may need the services of a specialist to assist you.

It isn't only the aesthetics which are in jeopardy if your house in Todmorden needs to be repointed, there are questions of safety to consider as well. The structural strength of your Todmorden home relies on the condition of the bricks and mortar, and badly crumbling sections can adversely have an impact on this. Any weakness in the construction can render a building unstable with severe consequences and possibly even a risk to life.

If you're restoring an older building or your mortar has been neglected over the years, you may also have to restore brickwork that's been damaged or weakened. An experienced brick repointing contractor in Todmorden will swiftly identify any sections that require possible replacement and provide a service to restore the brickwork at the same time as repointing.

It might be a situation where in past times your Todmorden property's exterior brick walls were painted or rendered. Any bubbling, peeling or cracks of paint or plaster could indicate a deterioration of either mortar or bricks beneath the surface. To stop the degradation from spreading and triggering more serious issues in the future, it is advisable to seek the help of a repointing and brickwork specialist who can ascertain the root cause of the problem. Any respected repointing expert in Todmorden will be capable of performing this service and make sure that your home is safe, sound and looking great.

WHAT ARE THE STEPS FOR REPOINTING BRICKWORK IN TODMORDEN?

Repointing can be a lengthy process and can entail working up high, depending on the style of your property. A visual inspection is the very first step in the process and will assess the extent of the remedial work that's required on your home. This inspection will enable them to offer you an estimate for the the whole job. Never assume all repointing contractors in Todmorden provide the same standard of service and the lowest price quote may not invariably be the best option.

If you have inaccessible parts of your home that couldn't be assessed during the initial site survey, a further inspection with extending ladders and perhaps scaffolding may be necessary. A quotation after the follow-up survey could be higher due to problems uncovered in this more detailed inspection. If you've got an older home in Todmorden that's over 60 years old, it is far more likely to require restorative work on repointing than a more modern property.

As soon as the problems have been identified then work can commence. It is likely that your repointing company will need a scaffold so as to have a sturdy platform whilst working on your property. When this is up then some sort of protective shielding will be fixed in position. This is to avoid any property damage and reduce any risk of injury to everyone in the immediate working area.

All pipes, conduits and cables that are attached to the wall may be loosened or removed so that the brickwork behind them can be accessed. When the repointing work is completed all pipes and cables will be placed back into their appropriate positions.

Any rendering, pebble-dash, paint or other covering will now need to be safely removed to allow the repointing team to gain access to the brickwork and move along with their reparation work. When this has been removed the brickwork is meticulously cleaned and sanded to provide a uniform surface to work on.

To help you decide on the ideal type of pointing for your walls, a decent Todmorden repointing specialist will be able to display the various pointing styles (Tuck, Weather Struck, Flush or Recessed), by creating a test section on your wall. This should allow you to visualise the final result and guarantee your satisfaction with the finished product with regard to colour and style.

The next thing is to remove the old, crumbling mortar in stages by raking and scraping out the joints in the brickwork. This painstaking process takes time because the joints need to have all the debris, old mortar and dust removed in order to establish a sound bonding surface for the new mortar to be applied to. The repointing team will be especially watchful around windows, doors and other openings where any movement of brickwork or over application of mortar can result in difficulty in closing and opening them.

When the joints are clean, the brickwork should be dampened to help prevent the fresh mortar from drying out too rapidly and subsequently cracking. This keeps the mortar flexible and enables it to dry out at a gentler pace to avoid cracking, which can lead to a weakened joint. When it is sufficiently dry it's time to clean up any smears and excess mortar from the adjacent brickwork. A wire brush is used to clean the wall areas that have been completed before starting on the next portion of the wall needing work.

It's quite possible that as the repointing team are doing their work they might find damaged brickwork that needs replacing, or maybe problems with faulty lead flashing or a damaged chimney stack, and an experienced repointer will be ideally placed to undertake such repairs as they progress.

After the brickwork has been cleaned for one final time, to achieve a uniform appearance overall, any plaster rendering or painting of the completed wall surfaces can be done. After the pipes and TV and satellite cables have been put back into place the scaffolding will be dismantled and all debris and waste disposed of.

Repointing your house using a professional Todmorden company will mean that you'll not have to worry about your external brickwork for fifty to sixty years. Guarantees should be offered for the repointing work and they should be affiliated with with manufacturers and providers from the building industry covering defective materials.

Such accreditation may include: the NHBC (National House-Building Council), the FMB (Federation of Master Builders) and the NFBC (National Federation of Building Contractors), whilst qualifications might range between NVQ's, City & Guilds and Diplomas from building industry specialists such as the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB).
