Brick
Our brick repointing pairs careful rake-out using dust-extraction kit with a colour-matched mortar, giving Belper walls a clean, durable and weather-tight finish.
Belper sits within the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, and it shows in the building stock — Georgian and Victorian gritstone terraces and mill-workers' housing, much of it in or near conservation areas. Repointing here often means working sympathetically on period stone and brick where the finish really matters.
In a World Heritage and conservation setting the look of a repointing job is as important as the weatherproofing. The wrong mortar colour or a heavy joint finish stands out badly on historic frontages. We rake out carefully, match the lime mortar to the original and finish the joints to suit the age of the property, keeping the character intact while sealing the wall against the weather.
Brick, stone and paving each need a different approach. Here is how we handle the work we are asked for most around here.
Our brick repointing pairs careful rake-out using dust-extraction kit with a colour-matched mortar, giving Belper walls a clean, durable and weather-tight finish.
As traditional repointing contractors we tailor every stone job, choosing lime mortars and mixes that suit the age of the property and the local building style.
We clean and repoint paths and patios of all kinds, replacing failed jointing to keep out weeds and water and bring the surface back to life.
A close look at the brick or stone tells us which joints have gone and what mortar mix and colour will suit the property best.
Failed mortar is ground and raked back to a consistent depth with dust-extraction tools, ready for fresh pointing.
Fresh, colour-matched mortar is applied and finished by hand to blend seamlessly with the existing wall.
We cover Belper, Milford, Duffield, Ambergate and the Derwent Valley villages for lime mortar repointing, stone restoration and chimney repairs.
