Brickwork & Repointing
Localised masonry repair and repointing to elevations, chimney stacks and parapets, reached by rope access rather than scaffold.
Overview
Brickwork & Repointing, delivered at height.
Failed pointing is usually localised — a chimney stack, a parapet, a band of weathered mortar on one elevation. Scaffolding a whole building to reach it can be slow and expensive.
Rope access lets the affected area be reached directly, so where the scope allows a defect can be surveyed and repaired in the same visit, often avoiding the programme and cost of a full scaffold.

Access and delivery
How the work gets done.
- The elevation is inspected at close range first, so the extent of the work is known before it is priced.
- Materials are matched to the existing mortar and brick as closely as the building allows.
- Debris is controlled at height rather than managed from the ground.
Suitable for
Where this service fits.
- Period and traditional masonry buildings
