Brick
From a single weathered elevation to a whole house, we repoint Dronfield brickwork with colour-matched mortar and a hand-finished joint, keeping the job tidy throughout.
Dronfield is a town of two halves for a pointing contractor. Around Dronfield Old Town and the conservation area you find older gritstone cottages and period properties that want traditional lime mortar, while the wider town and Dronfield Woodhouse are dominated by 20th-century brick semis and estates that need straightforward colour-matched repointing.
Sat in the valley between Chesterfield and Sheffield, Dronfield's older stone walls were built to breathe. Repoint them with a hard cement mortar and moisture gets trapped, spalling the stone face. We use the right lime-based mix for period stonework and a matched mortar for the newer brick housing, so each wall is treated the way it was built.
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 Dronfield 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 work throughout Dronfield, Dronfield Woodhouse, Coal Aston, Unstone and Holmesfield on stone and brick repointing, chimney repairs and lime mortar work.
