Preparation • RAKE OUT
Technical Building Specialists and Repointing Contractors based in Tameside, serving Manchester, Stockport and surrounding Counties.
Legacy building and repair techniques ensuring consistently high quality work and long lasting integrity.
Joint openings raked to a healthy depth up to 18mm+. All dust and dirt is washed out of the joints before any repointing, ensuring a true bond between the masonry and fresh mortar.

Restoration • REPOINT
Optional Masonry Cleaning and Structural Repairs are undertaken following the rake-out of mortar joints.
The type of pointing mortar 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 | 5:2:1), Cement based Mortar or Linseed Fibre Mastic are the more commonly chosen options.
Following repointing we often recommend applying a waterproofing solution to the masonry, which helps prevent damp and extends the lifespan of your Pointing.
We provide specialist Waterproofing treatments for Brick, Stone and Concrete surfaces.
