Brick
Old mortar is removed with dust-controlled tools and replaced with a mix matched to your brick, so repointed areas on Brimington homes blend in rather than stand out.
Brimington sits just north-east of Chesterfield and is largely residential — brick terraces, semis and bungalows along the main road through Brimington and Brimington Common. The brickwork here is the bread-and-butter of what we do: solid walls whose original mortar has simply weathered back over the decades.
On older Brimington terraces the front elevation often faces the prevailing weather, so the pointing on the street side weathers faster than the rest of the house. Renewing it not only stops water getting in but sharpens up the whole frontage. We match the colour and joint finish so the repointed areas blend in rather than patch-marking the wall.
Every wall, era and material is different. Here is how we approach the three jobs we are asked for most.
Old mortar is removed with dust-controlled tools and replaced with a mix matched to your brick, so repointed areas on Brimington homes blend in rather than stand out.
We have the experience to repoint stone and period masonry sympathetically, using lime mortar and traditional finishes that respect how the wall was first built.
Worn paths and patios are cleaned down and repointed with a hard-wearing mix, tackling everything from patch repairs to full re-jointing.
We inspect the masonry, identify failed joints and recommend the right mortar mix and finish for your property.
The perished mortar is raked out with dust-controlled tools, so the work stays tidy and the dust stays down.
We fill the joints with colour-matched mortar and finish them by hand, leaving a neat, weather-tight and consistent face.
We cover Brimington, Brimington Common, Tapton, New Whittington and Whittington Moor for brick repointing, chimney repointing and patio repairs.
