Brick
Old mortar is removed with dust-controlled tools and replaced with a mix matched to your brick, so repointed areas on New Whittington homes blend in rather than stand out.
New Whittington is a residential area to the north of Chesterfield with roots in mining and industry, built mainly from brick terraces, semis and estate housing. It is solid brick-repointing country, with mortar joints on many homes now well weathered.
New Whittington's terraces present long runs of exposed brickwork, and pointing tends to fail along a run once it starts. Repointing with a matched mortar before winter stops frost opening the joints further and keeps the elevation uniform.
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 New Whittington 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 New Whittington, Old Whittington, Whittington Moor, Barrow Hill and Sheepbridge for brick repointing, chimney repointing and patio repairs.
