Brick & Stone Pointing
Technical Building Specialists and Repointing Contractors based in Tameside, serving Manchester, Stockport and surrounding Counties. Understanding the needs of period property structures through to modern concept developments. Legacy building and repair techniques cherry picked alongside revised approaches, ensuring the quality and integrity of the works carried out is of the highest standard.
All joint openings 'raked' to a depth of at-minimum double the width of the joint opening, up to a maximum of 15mm on cement bedded masonry and 18mm on lime bedded masonry.
Optional Acid Cleaning and Masonry Repair is undertaken following the 'raking' of mortar joints.
The type of joint filling compound is generally determined by the nature of the masonry; Quick Lime (CaO), Hydraulic Lime Mortar (NHL 2 | 3.5 | 5), Hybrid Lime Mortar (8:2:1 | 6:1:1), Cement based Mortar or Linseed Fibre Mastic are some of the more commonly chosen options.
Following repointing it's always advisable to apply a waterproofing solution directly to the entire facade, choice on the specific type of waterproofer is again determined by the nature of the masonry.
K Rend & Lime Render
Traditional Lime Renders, Specialist Architectural Coatings and Through-Colour Renders.
Many of our customers have opted for our inhouse 2 layer backing-coat system, which begins with the application of a chalky, glue infused render mortar driven into a keyed / scribed wall. Once semi-cure, this first coat is lightly 'scratched' back to reveal a flat canvass.
A second, stronger layer of render mortar with a fibre-glass mesh set in whilst wet, is applied over the first layer. Once fully cured, the two layer system provides high tolerance to movement / expansion / contraction / heat spots / moisture retention and impact shock. The system is also micro-porous, enabling both cavity and solid wall type constructed walls and verticals to benefit.
The in-house render system puts pre-bagged technology in your hands at a fraction of the cost, enabling us to deliver a far more cost effective solution without the overhead of third party render system providers in the budget.The option to use in-house or a BS EN 15824 proprietary render system is at your discretion, and is broken down as a comparable option in written quotations on request.
Chimneys & Roofing
All types of chimneys, brick and stone stacks pointed and repaired. Bricks replaced and brickwork sections repaired. Chimneys capped, dropped, supported, extended, modified and rebuilt. Acid cleaning, pot replacement, watersealing treatments and led flashings.
Any number of issues can arise out of a poorly maintained chimney stack. It's estimated that Victorian brickwork accounts for over 65% of UK Building stock, that said, safety as well as purpose becomes a concern given the antique status of these structures.
Replacement of Roofing Timbers, Coverings and Rain-Water Goods through to Hips, Ridges and Led Valleys. We can provide a full, roof elevation water-tightening solution for almost any type of structure.
