Brick
Our brick repointing pairs careful rake-out using dust-extraction kit with a colour-matched mortar, giving Staveley walls a clean, durable and weather-tight finish.
Staveley's housing reflects its industrial and ironworks past — rows of red-brick terraces and inter-war semis spread between the town centre, Inkersall, Middlecroft and Barrow Hill. It is classic brick repointing territory, with plenty of original mortar joints now well past their working life.
Brickwork along the Chesterfield Canal and the lower-lying parts of Staveley can sit in damp ground, which is hard on mortar joints near the base of a wall. Where pointing has gone soft or washed out, water tracks into the wall and shows up as damp inside. Raking out the failed joints and repointing with a suitable mix puts the weather barrier back.
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 Staveley 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.
