Brick
Old mortar is removed with dust-controlled tools and replaced with a mix matched to your brick, so repointed areas on Spital homes blend in rather than stand out.
Spital is a residential district on the east side of Chesterfield, a mix of Victorian terraces and later housing on the rising ground above the town. Its older brickwork is classic repointing territory, with chimneys and street frontages the usual priorities.
Spital's hillside position exposes upper elevations and chimney stacks to plenty of weather, and that is where mortar joints fail first. Repointing the exposed areas with a matched mortar keeps water out and tidies the frontage in one go.
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 Spital 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 Spital, Hady, Tapton, Hasland and Calow for brick repointing and chimney repairs.
