Brick
We use modern dust-extraction equipment to rake out perished mortar cleanly, then finish with colour-matched materials for a seamless result on Birdholme brickwork.
Birdholme sits just south of Chesterfield town centre along the Derby Road, a residential area of brick terraces, semis and estate housing. Most of what we do here is straightforward colour-matched brick repointing on weathered walls.
Birdholme's runs of exposed brickwork tend to fail along a stretch once the mortar starts going, so catching it early and repointing keeps a uniform finish and stops damp working its way inside. We rake the old joints out cleanly with dust-extraction tools to keep mess down.
From modern brick to period stone and old paving, here is how we tackle the three jobs that come up most.
We use modern dust-extraction equipment to rake out perished mortar cleanly, then finish with colour-matched materials for a seamless result on Birdholme brickwork.
Stone walls need to breathe, so we repoint them in compatible lime-based mortars matched to the original work rather than a hard cement that can damage the stone.
From a few loose flags to a complete patio re-point, we re-joint outdoor paving with the right mortar to keep it sound and looking smart.
Before any mortar is touched we assess the wall, note where the joints have failed and set out the mix and finish we'll use.
Old, decayed mortar is removed cleanly with dust-extraction equipment to keep mess and disruption to a minimum.
New mortar, matched to your masonry, is worked into the joints and hand-finished so the repair disappears into the wall.
We cover Birdholme, Boythorpe, Hasland, Grassmoor and Walton for brick repointing, chimney repointing and patio re-points.
