Repointing Troon

Repointing Troon Scotland (KA10): All homes and buildings in Troon require a bit of repair and maintenance every so often. You will need to act quickly if your property's brickwork is looking decidedly grotty, with crumbling or missing mortar, seeing as it is only going to deteriorate further if it's ignored. If you need to renovate or repair your damaged brickwork, a reputable brick repointing contractor in Troon will offer an effective solution.

You must remember that any structure is only as strong as the bricks and mortar that hold it together. Dampness and draughts can force their way into your house and cause many issues with the the integrity of the structure, if the mortar is in a bad condition with holes, gaps or eroding spots. But how can you be sure when you need to repoint your house in Troon?

Simply put, you must inspect your outside walls and look for any damage. If you can see an issue then you've got an issue. In sections which are unreachable, for example under eaves or on chimney stacks; you might need the services of a professional to help you, however in most scenarios you will easily be able to spot any external signs of damage yourself.

The issues of safety that crumbling and cracked mortar can cause should also be taken into account, as well as the appearance of your property. Mortar is the binding agent that holds the structure and shape together in any Troon property, and when badly in poor condition can affect the entire integrity of a building. There could be severe implications and perhaps even a danger to life, in buildings that have become unstable.

If some of the brickwork has been weakened or damaged over time and is seen to be the root cause of the problems with your mortar it might have to be replaced. Any defective bricks discovered during the survey by the contractor will be replaced or repaired before any mortar repointing is completed.

A lot of Troon homes in past times had their exterior brick walls painted or plastered over to help shield the brickwork. Any bubbling, cracks or flaking of paint or render could signify a deterioration of either bricks or mortar under the surface. To stop the degradation from spreading and leading to more serious issues at a later date, it is best to seek the help of a professional building and repointing company who can ascertain the root cause of the problem. This will make sure that your home is in the best condition possible, and you can have the peace of mind knowing that the work has been accomplished properly.

WHAT STEPS ARE REQUIRED IN REPOINTING BRICKWORK IN TROON?

Depending on the sort of property you've got, repointing will usually involve working up high, and it can be a lengthy process. To evaluate the level of damage and the work that is required on your property, the first task for a repointing company will be to perform an eyes-on survey of the brickwork. A thorough inspection is the best way by which a repointing company can give you an accurate quotation for the level of work that's required on your damaged brickwork. Try to always get at least three price quotes from local repointing contractors in Troon, and evaluate the standards of service provided by each of them.

A further site survey could be required when you accept a quote and might include the use of extending ladders, or possibly even scaffolding, to get to inaccessible parts of your property. It could be that this more in depth survey might expose further issues that could increase the original quotation. The older your structure, the more chance that it is going to need repointing work, and this is especially true for those homes in Troon over sixty years old.

As soon as any issues have been identified then reparation work can commence. Most properties will require scaffolding to be erected to provide a sturdy working platform for the repointing team. The outside of the scaffold can then have a protective shielding fitted to it. This is to stop any dust or debris damaging your property or that of your neighbours.

Any drainpipes may need to be removed or adjusted to allow access to the brickwork behind, as will all external wiring, for example satellite or TV. These fixtures can all be put back into position on the completion of the pointing project.

Lots of properties in Troon are either rendered, pebble-dashed or painted, and if this is the case with your house, these cosmetic coverings will need to be removed so that the repointing specialists can get to the brickwork. The revealed brickwork will then need to be thoroughly cleaned and sanded, so that your exterior walls have a neat and uniform finish.

To help you choose the ideal style of pointing for your walls, a trustworthy Troon repointing specialist will be able to display the different pointing designs (Weather Struck, Flush, Recessed or Tuck), by creating a test section on your wall. This test panel will enable you to see how each of the methods compares with one another and also which complements the style of your home best.

The next thing is to remove the old mortar in stages by raking and scraping out the joints. This painstaking process takes time because the joints need to be cleaned of any dust, debris and old mortar so as to establish a sound bonding surface for the application of new mortar. Any doors and windows will be paid extra care by the repointing team to prevent any disturbance of the frames or having excess mortar applied which could lead to problems with their closing and opening.

So the new mortar doesn't dry out too rapidly, the walls will be dampened before the new pointing commences. This helps establish a solid joint by keeping the mortar flexible and preventing cracks. When it is sufficiently dry the time has come to clean up any excess mortar and smears from the adjacent bricks. A wire brush is used to clean the brickwork which have been completed before starting on the next section of the wall needing work.

If any brick replacement, chimney repairs or lead flashing work needs doing by the repointing company during the work, now is the time when these jobs will be carried out.

Any paint, render or other wall coverings that you need will be re-applied once all the repointing work has been concluded. The final phase of the repointing project will entail all pipes, cables and other fixtures fixed back into their rightful positions, scaffolding disassembled and all waste materials removed and disposed of.

Your brick repair and repointing should be good for another 50-60 years so long as it's undertaken by a skilled and experienced repointing company in Troon. Warranties should be offered for the restoration work and they should be affiliated with with manufacturers and providers from the construction industry covering substandard materials.

If a repointing company has accreditation or qualifications from trade organisations like the FMB (Federation of Master Builders), the NHBC (National House-Building Council) and the NFBC (National Federation of Building Contractors), you can be assured that you are dealing with an experienced and qualified business. In addition, each and every worker on the repointing crew who does work on your house should be a member of the Construction Skills Certification Scheme to prove that they have the relevant skills and training to be working on the project.

Chimney Repointing

A chimney is often overlooked when it comes to property maintenance, but a chimney that is falling into disrepair can be a costly issue. During a preliminary evaluation of your chimney in Troon, a professional could recommend repointing or maybe even a rebuild of your chimney, depending on the size of the damaged and affected area. Professional chimney repointing will restore the structural integrity of your chimney by replacing the old, crumbling mortar with new material. This should forestall the requirement for a total chimney rebuild and give you peace of mind for years to come. Having your chimney in Troon repointed also prevents damage to the inner surfaces of your chimney stack, by preventing moisture from seeping through the gaps and cracks in old mortar. Most recently constructed chimneys are lined with steel and if moisture makes contact with this liner, it can severely reduce its lifespan. Once repointing work has been done, an exterior sealant is used which is water repellent and allows any internal moisture to be released.

Brickwork Crack Stitching Troon

When there are substantial cracks in brick structures and buildings, they can sometimes be repaired using a technique called brick crack stitching. To reinforce the weakened brickwork, stainless steel rods are inserted into the mortar bed of the affected brickwork and held in position with a unique grouting process. The intention behind this strategy is to reinforce the mortar bed, provide additional support to the impaired brickwork, and prevent further cracks from appearing. The rods used in this process are designed to flex and twist, allowing them to move with the brickwork and absorb any additional stress. The process of crack stitching can be used in a variety of situations, including for repairing cracks in arches, walls, chimneys and bridges. It is a relatively simple and effective solution to a widespread problem in brick structures and can extend the life of the structure for the years ahead. Whether dealing with a historic or contemporary structure, this process can be employed to provide an effective and non-intrusive repair solution, which is often preferred to more extensive methods such as repointing or rebuilding.

Tuck Pointing Troon

Exactly What is Tuckpointing? Tuck pointing is a procedure for repointing old and dilapidated brickwork where the mortar joints are crumbling and unstable. The aesthetic look of walls can be enhanced with this approach, giving the illusion that they are in much better condition than they actually are, and giving the impression of well-formed brickwork.

First of all, the old, crumbling mortar is raked out, and this is then replaced with a new coloured mortar which closely matches the colour of the wall. Next, a narrow, contrasting line of lighter mortar is "tucked" in, to make it seem like the joints are even and neat, where they previously looked like they were wide and irregular.

The effect of tuck-pointing can be quite eye-catching, in particular when viewed from afar, and can dramatically enhance the overall look of a wall without the need for disruptive renovations. You should also be able to access tuckpointing services in Mossblown, Dundonald, New Prestwick, Symington, Southwood, Woodfield, Dreghorn, Craigie, Loans, Monkton, Tarbolton, Braehead, Drybridge, and in Troon, Scotland.

Ask Family and Friends

Even when a particular repointing service has been recommended by someone, you should still get at least 3 or 4 estimates from other tradespeople in the area, to provide you with an idea of what you should be paying.
