TM Pointing
Service in Rochdale, Manchester

Every building will become dull, dirty and stained, tainted by contaminants and pollution in the air, weeds, moss, algae and other biological matter. Being constantly exposed to the elements, brickwork can easily start to look worn and unsightly without some kind of cleaning or upkeep. Moss and algae can spread quickly over brickwork, causing your once charming, clean building to become dull and depressing.

Our team are qualified and experienced in carrying out the seamless repair of all brick and stonework, to buildings and properties both old and new. Our repair services generally involve a mixture of specialist services including repointing, individual brick replacement, re-facing and in some cases complete rebuilding. We can seamlessly repair issues such as lime, chipped bricks, damaged mortar and more.

Nowadays most chimney stacks are redundant, often leading to neglect which then causes them to fall into a state of disrepair. The chimney pots and their flaunching generally take the biggest punishment from weathering and wind, sometimes making them unstable and dangerous. Flaunching will become cracked and loose, allowing the chimney pot to move, which could then crash down in strong winds.

Protecting your new brick or stonework is just as important as the initial repair, and will enhance the buildings ability to repel moisture, grime and surface contaminants. This not only has an effect on aesthetics, it also helps reduce energy and prevent moisture build up. Studies have shown that moisture in building materials is a key factor in energy loss from homes, wet materials transferring heat quicker.

All walls have a limited lifespan, and whilst they may still physically stand, sooner or later the brick or stone will need repointing. Pointing is the technique of repairing or replacing mortar joints between bricks and other masonry, and is really important to prevent water ingress. Over time, the mortar in between your bricks will be eroded away by weathering, allowing water to seep through the brickwork.
