Brick
Old mortar is removed with dust-controlled tools and replaced with a mix matched to your brick, so repointed areas on Holymoorside homes blend in rather than stand out.
Holymoorside is a village on the western edge of Chesterfield where the town meets the moors, with a mix of older stone cottages around the village and newer housing on its fringes. That combination means we handle both traditional stone repointing and straightforward brick re-points within a few streets of each other.
On the moor-side edge of the village, walls and chimneys are exposed to wind-driven rain coming off open ground. That is hard on pointing, and failed joints quickly lead to damp. We match the mortar to the property — lime for the older stone, a colour-matched mix for newer brick — so each repair suits the wall and stands up to the exposure.
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 Holymoorside 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 Holymoorside, Walton, Loads, Old Brampton and the western edge of Chesterfield for stone and brick repointing and chimney repairs.
