Pointing Cleaning Bradford

Pointing Cleaning BradfordRe-pointing your home offers protection against water and damp as well as giving tired looking brick / stonework a vibrant new look.

We have have worked for nearly all the councils in Northern England at sometime or other over the years and have also worked for The British Heritage on a number of occasions working to the highest standards.

Each property is individual and we would aim to offer the style that best suits your home, but detailed is our standard method of repointing brick or stonework:-

  • We will cut out all beds to a minimum depth of 20mm or in the case of brick/ stonework with existing thin beds we would cut out to twice the width.
  • Then all loose and defective material is removed from the surface by power-washing – this gives a sound ‘key’ from which to work.
  • The next stage in the process is the pointing. Our mix contains cement and a soft sand (for flexibility), mixed with a co-polymer solution giving extra flexibility and used for it’s water repellent properties.
  • There are many different types of brick and stone pointing and at the initial consultation we can give you our advice as to which best suits your property.
  • We also offer your brick or stonework a chemical clean to bringthe rest of the brick / stonework in line with the new pointing.
  • We can also weatherproof your walls with a silicone sealant giving your home further protection – this offers good protection against the elements.
