Maintenance Brickwork Repairs Pointing and Jointing
In general, masonry work that has been properly constructed requires only very small maintenance or repairs to retain its good condition. On older buildings it will be much more likely that the joints between the brickwork and stone will be degraded and be showing signs of deterioration which can be attributed to any number of issues.
Issues that may cause your Brickwork Pointing in Essex include moister damage from leaking roofs and drain pipes. Moister at ground floor level is a major cause of brickwork damage.
Sometimes it can be the case that issues with brickwork arise due to poor work. Incorrect mixing of proportions can lead to frost destroy and sulphate assault by soluble salts contained within the bricks themselves.
Sometimes issues of damp are hard to keep away from. The normal evaporation of moister from the bricks and mortar can be affected restricting the normal evaporation method due to extreme shading by overhangs and close propinquity of adjoining buildings.
Before trying to take on any repair of Brickwork Pointing in Essex, the causes of your particular issues should be addressed. The amount of the repair will be ruled by the degree to which the decay has penetrated. In the worst circumstances partial rebuilding of the structure can be treated. Carefully probing in to the bed joints of the building will be the best indication of the condition of the brickwork. Where the mortar has degraded it is a waste of time basically to re-point and is often necessary to rebuild the whole structure.
Preparation of the mortar is paramount as it may vary in composition widely according to requirements. Over strength mixing can lead to serious degradation of softer bricks & stone & it will crack & break down the structure of the bricks.
There are many different types and styles of pointing. Flush pointing is a common finish on all fair faced work, both internal and outside. Joints are filled flush to the masonry surface forming no recess to collect dust. Struck and Cut style pointing is internal and used to pick the bricks in a feature, which is completed by running a trowel along the bed joint and pressing in at the lower fringe of the joint.
