Brick
From a single weathered elevation to a whole house, we repoint Bolsover brickwork with colour-matched mortar and a hand-finished joint, keeping the job tidy throughout.
Bolsover stands on a hilltop crowned by its castle, and the older town is built largely from local magnesian limestone, while the surrounding estates and former colliery rows are brick. Repointing in Bolsover therefore ranges from sympathetic limestone work in the old town to standard brick re-points on the terraces.
Bolsover's hilltop position leaves its buildings fully exposed to the weather on every side, and the local limestone is relatively soft. It needs repointing with a compatible lime-based mortar rather than a hard cement that would trap moisture and accelerate erosion of the stone. Matching the mortar to the stone keeps the historic frontages sound and looking right.
No two properties are quite the same, so we tailor the work. These are the three repointing jobs we take on most often.
From a single weathered elevation to a whole house, we repoint Bolsover brickwork with colour-matched mortar and a hand-finished joint, keeping the job tidy throughout.
For stone and heritage properties we use breathable lime mortars, matched in colour and texture to the existing stonework for a result that looks right and lasts.
Give a tired path or patio a new lease of life with our cleaning and repointing options, from small patch repairs to a full re-point.
We start by surveying the walls, pinpointing where the pointing has failed and agreeing the best mortar and finish with you.
We cut out the failed mortar carefully using dust-extraction kit, protecting the brick edges and keeping the site clean.
The joints are filled with a mortar matched to your wall and tooled by hand for a tidy, long-lasting finish.
We cover Bolsover, New Bolsover, Shuttlewood, Stanfree and Whaley for limestone and brick repointing, chimney repointing and stone restoration.
