Brick
We use modern dust-extraction equipment to rake out perished mortar cleanly, then finish with colour-matched materials for a seamless result on Brampton brickwork.
Brampton, strung along Chatsworth Road west of the town centre, is one of Chesterfield's most characterful areas — rows of Victorian brick and stone terraces, shops and pubs known locally as the Brampton Mile. Much of that period housing now has mortar joints well past their best.
Brampton's older terraces were built with lime-bedded brick and stone, and they repoint best with a compatible mortar rather than a hard cement that can spall the brick faces. We match the colour and finish to the original so repaired joints sit right on these prominent street frontages.
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 Brampton 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 Brampton, Chatsworth Road, Boythorpe, Walton and Holme Hall for brick and stone repointing and chimney work.
