Brick
Our brick repointing pairs careful rake-out using dust-extraction kit with a colour-matched mortar, giving Newbold walls a clean, durable and weather-tight finish.
Newbold sits on rising ground to the north of Chesterfield, mixing an older village heart around St John's church with large areas of 20th-century brick semis and estate housing. It is mainly brick repointing territory, with chimney stacks and gable ends the parts most often in need of attention.
Newbold's elevated position leaves chimneys and upper elevations well exposed to wind-driven rain, and those are usually the first joints to fail. Repointing the stack and the weather-facing walls with a matched mix keeps water out before frost can open the joints up further.
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 Newbold 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 Newbold, Dunston, Whittington Moor, Stonegravels and Loundsley Green for brick repointing and chimney repairs.
