Services
Lime Pointing
Lime pointing restores historic brickwork and stone using breathable materials that prevent water damage. Ideal for pre-1914 buildings, it allows structural movement and self-healing of minor cracks. Our method preserves original aesthetics while ensuring durability.
Cement Pointing
Cement pointing suits modern cavity-wall constructions, using sand and cement mortars to maintain breathability. We match existing styles to ensure visual consistency and prevent damp issues caused by trapped moisture in insulated walls.
Brick Replacement
Damaged bricks are replaced with matching materials to restore structural integrity. Our process ensures seamless integration with existing masonry, addressing spalling or erosion without compromising the building's character.
Crack Stitching
Crack stitching reinforces cracked walls using masonry reinforcement techniques. This method stabilises structures, preventing further movement and extending the lifespan of brickwork in both historic and modern properties.
Cavity Cleaning
Cavity cleaning removes debris and blockages from wall cavities to maintain ventilation and prevent damp. This service ensures cavity walls function as intended, reducing the risk of moisture-related damage.
Questions
What is repointing, and why is it necessary?
Repointing replaces degraded mortar between bricks or stones to prevent water ingress, structural damage, and damp. It restores both the strength and appearance of masonry.
Why choose lime pointing for older buildings?
Lime mortar allows traditional buildings to 'breathe,' reducing damp risks. It accommodates movement without cracking and preserves historical authenticity in pre-1914 structures.
Do you provide free quotations?
Yes, we offer free, no-obligation quotations with transparent pricing and no upfront payments required.
How long does repointing work take?
Project duration varies by scale, but we use tower scaffolding to speed up safe jobs and complete work efficiently without compromising quality.
Which areas do you serve?
We operate across Yorkshire and Durham, specialising in both urban and rural properties, including historic buildings and modern homes.
