Brick
Our brick repointing pairs careful rake-out using dust-extraction kit with a colour-matched mortar, giving Eckington walls a clean, durable and weather-tight finish.
Eckington sits at the north-east edge of Derbyshire near the South Yorkshire border, with a mix of older stone and brick properties around the church and the Renishaw estate alongside more recent housing. It is a town where we are asked for both traditional stone work and everyday brick repointing.
Eckington's older properties were built with locally won stone and brick bedded in lime, and they repoint best with a mortar that matches that original material. On the newer brick housing the priority is a clean, colour-matched re-point that keeps the weather out. Either way, renewing failed joints before winter prevents frost damage taking hold.
Brick, stone and paving each need a different approach. Here is how we handle the work we are asked for most around here.
Our brick repointing pairs careful rake-out using dust-extraction kit with a colour-matched mortar, giving Eckington walls a clean, durable and weather-tight finish.
As traditional repointing contractors we tailor every stone job, choosing lime mortars and mixes that suit the age of the property and the local building style.
We clean and repoint paths and patios of all kinds, replacing failed jointing to keep out weeds and water and bring the surface back to life.
A close look at the brick or stone tells us which joints have gone and what mortar mix and colour will suit the property best.
Failed mortar is ground and raked back to a consistent depth with dust-extraction tools, ready for fresh pointing.
Fresh, colour-matched mortar is applied and finished by hand to blend seamlessly with the existing wall.
We cover Eckington, Marsh Lane, Ridgeway, Renishaw and Spinkhill for brick and stone repointing, chimney repointing and patio repairs.
