Brick
We use modern dust-extraction equipment to rake out perished mortar cleanly, then finish with colour-matched materials for a seamless result on Wingerworth brickwork.
Wingerworth is a sought-after village just south of Chesterfield, with a mix of older stone and brick properties around the church and Hall grounds alongside a good deal of post-war and modern detached housing. That variety means we are asked for everything here, from sympathetic stone repointing to neat brick re-points on family homes.
Many of Wingerworth's larger detached houses have prominent gable ends and chimney stacks that are fully exposed to the weather. Chimneys in particular are often the first thing to need repointing, as they catch wind-driven rain from every direction. Keeping the stack and the elevations well pointed protects both the structure and the kerb appeal of the property.
From modern brick to period stone and old paving, here is how we tackle the three jobs that come up most.
We use modern dust-extraction equipment to rake out perished mortar cleanly, then finish with colour-matched materials for a seamless result on Wingerworth brickwork.
Stone walls need to breathe, so we repoint them in compatible lime-based mortars matched to the original work rather than a hard cement that can damage the stone.
From a few loose flags to a complete patio re-point, we re-joint outdoor paving with the right mortar to keep it sound and looking smart.
Before any mortar is touched we assess the wall, note where the joints have failed and set out the mix and finish we'll use.
Old, decayed mortar is removed cleanly with dust-extraction equipment to keep mess and disruption to a minimum.
New mortar, matched to your masonry, is worked into the joints and hand-finished so the repair disappears into the wall.
We serve Wingerworth, Hockley, Nethermoor, Grassmoor and the surrounding villages for brick and stone repointing, chimney repointing and patio re-points.
