Repointing Wembley

Repointing Wembley Greater London (HA0): All buildings in Wembley at some point in time will require a little maintenance. Properties in Wembley are hit by all weathers, pollution and other damaging issues that may have an adverse effect on the state of the cement or mortar between the bricks, and should you notice indications of this you may need to call on some expert help. To find a suitable solution to repoint your brickwork and ensure that it stays watertight, you'll need to get in touch with a reliable brick repointing company in Wembley.

A house is only as strong as the bricks and mortar that keep it together, and you should always remember this. The mortar must be sound, and free of gaps or holes to be able to repel any damp or draughts from finding a route into your home. But how can you recognise when your home needs a specialist to repoint it?

Closeley inspect your bricks and mortar, and check for any damage that is visible. If you are able to see problems then you have a problem. You should be able to spot yourself in most situations the physical signs of degradation, however in awkward places for instance under eaves or on chimney stacks it may be best to get a professional to check.

When your house in Wembley needs repointing, it's not merely the aesthetics that need to be considered, the safety risks need to be looked at too. The mortar is the foundation of strength in your Wembley home and is the "glue" that holds the whole thing together. In relation to property damage and the related risk of injury, any weakness in the integrity of the building can have severe consequences, and this is even more of a concern in properties with chimney stacks or taller buildings.

If bricks have been weakened or damaged over the years and are the reason for the problems with your mortar joints they might have to be replaced. In order to renovate the brickwork at the same time as the repointing, a reputable brick repointing contractor in Wembley will quickly determine any areas that require replacement.

A lot of Wembley houses in the past had their external walls painted or plastered over to help protect the brickwork. It may suggest issues with the brickwork or mortar allowing damp into the walls, if you see indications of flaking, peeling or other damage to rendered and painted brickwork. Investigation of this issue, by a repointing specialist is the only way to ensure the degradation does not spread further and trigger structural problems down the line. Any decent repointing expert in Wembley will be capable of performing a service like this and make certain that your home is safe and looking great.

WHAT STEPS ARE REQUIRED FOR REPOINTING BRICKWORK IN WEMBLEY?

Repointing takes time to accomplish correctly and will involve working at considerable height in many cases. To permit a repointing business to accurately determine the restorative work required on your brickwork they will first have to undertake a visual survey. This survey will enable them to provide you with an itemised quotation for the the whole job. The same level of service won't be offered by all repointing specialists in Wembley, so make the effort to obtain a minimum of 3 quotations, and carefully consider each one.

If the surveyor who did the first site survey was unable to view and inspect some hard to reach sections of your house, ladders or even some form of scaffolding may be needed to do a more thorough examination. A price quote after the second survey could even be higher owing to issues discovered during this more comprehensive inspection. The older your building is, the more likely it is to need repointing, and this is particularly so for those houses in Wembley that are over sixty years old.

Work can start as soon as any problem areas have been confirmed and discussed with the property owner. Most properties will need to have scaffolding erected to establish a secure working platform for the bricklayer or repointing specialists. An arrangement of protective shielding or sheeting will then be secured to the exterior of the scaffolding. This could be in the way of plastic sheeting to trap any debris and dust that is generated during the process.

Pipework and wires will have to be removed or adjusted to enable access to the brickwork behind them. This is of course only temporary and they'll be replaced back in their original position once all reparation work has been completed.

Any pebble-dash, rendering, paint or other covering will now need to be carefully removed to enable the repointers to gain access to the bare walls and move along with their remedial work. When this has been done the brickwork is diligently sanded and cleaned to establish an even surface for work to begin.

To help you pick out the type of repointing finish to your walls, a trustworthy Wembley repointing specialist will be willing to show the various pointing styles (Weather Struck, Recessed, Tuck or Flush), by the creation of a test panel on your wall. This helps you see how each will look on your property and demonstrate the different styles and colours available.

The next step is to remove the mortar by raking and cleaning out the joints in the brickwork. This is an extremely time consuming process and entails the chipping or grinding away of old mortar and brushing away any loose debris and dust to provide a clean surface onto which to apply the new mortar. Any windows and doors will be paid extra care by the repointing team to avoid any surplus applications of mortar or distortion of the frames which can lead to problems with their closing and opening.

When the joints are clean, the brickwork will be damped down to help stop the fresh mortar from drying out too quickly and subsequently cracking. This keeps the mortar flexible and enables it to dry at a slower pace to prevent cracking, which can lead to a weak joint. When it has dried sufficiently the time has come to clean off any excess mortar and smears from the adjoining brickwork. The walls will usually be divided into areas, and each one in turn will be repointed, left to dry, and then cleaned before the team get on with the next section.

It's quite possible that as the repointers are doing their work they might find broken bricks that need replacing, or maybe a problem with faulty lead flashing or a chimney, and a professional company will be in a position to carry out such repair work as they go.

Any rendering, paint or other wall covering you require will be re-applied as soon as all of the remedial work has been concluded. After the cables and pipes have been put back in positionthe scaffold will be removed and all debris and waste disposed of.

The repointing of your house by a qualified Wembley contractor will mean you won't need to worry about your external brickwork for 50 years or more. All restoration work should be provided with a warranty of at least twelve months and have building industry accreditations.

If a company has accreditation or qualifications from trade organisations like the NFBC (National Federation of Building Contractors), the FMB (Federation of Master Builders) and the NHBC (National House-Building Council), you can be certain you are dealing with a reliable and experienced business. Additionally, each and every one of the repointing crew who does work on your home should be a holder of a CSCS card (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) to demonstrate they have the appropriate skills and training for their respective role in the project.

Ridge Tile Repointing Wembley

Roof tiles and mortar joints should be checked every other year at a minimum. Repointing simple mortar cracks can prevent leaking roofs and expensive reroofing jobs in Wembley. Pay extra attention to ridge tiles since they are exposed to weathering from all sides and may exhibit cracks in the mortar joints before other tiles on the roof. If cracks are discovered in the mortar between ridge tiles, the options are repoint the joints or rebed the ridge tile.

Unfortunately, sometimes a ridge tile needs to be rebedded instead of repointed which requires a little more work. Again, be sure to use all safety precautions while working on the roof. Use a hammer and chisel to remove the mortar as well as the ridge tile. Use the hammer and chisel to remove the mortar from the bed on the roof and mortar from the bottom of the ridge tile. Once the ridge tile is off, replacing the ridge iron is a good idea especially if there is any evidence of rust. Remove any organic matter such as moss or mold and use a fungicide to ensure the area is clean. Then soak the in water while mixing mortar. Mix a stiff mortar in a ratio of 3:1 (sharp sand: cement). Dampen the roof and tile as you work. Mortar each side of the ridge tile and use a trowel to lay a bed of mortar on the roof. Place on the mortar bed and press down. Remove any mortar that squishes out between joints. Ensure the joint gaps are filled and smooth joints with pointing trowel.

The integrity of the roof protects your biggest investment from damages resulting from weather in Wembley. Checking and repointing roof before cracks allow water to penetrate into the house are simple ways to save money.
