Brick
Old mortar is removed with dust-controlled tools and replaced with a mix matched to your brick, so repointed areas on Dunston homes blend in rather than stand out.
Dunston sits on the northern edge of Chesterfield, a mix of newer residential housing and established homes near the Dunston industrial area. Most of what we do here is colour-matched brick repointing and chimney work on solid, weathered walls.
Dunston's exposed northern-edge position is hard on chimney stacks and weather-facing elevations, and those are usually first to need attention. Repointing with a matched mortar seals the joints and protects the most exposed masonry before frost can do damage.
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 Dunston 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 Dunston, Newbold, Whittington Moor, Loundsley Green and Sheepbridge for brick repointing and chimney repairs.
