                                  damaged bricks caused by spalding , neglect to repointing
                                                                 will have this effect on brickwork
 
 
 
                 
                            
                               lack of maintanace will result in this, as well as internal damp

                               the cottage was cement rendered on all sides and the rendering
                                            had failed traping mositure behind it, after taking of the render we
                                         found original stonework to the left of the cottage in very good condition
                                         and the brickwork was in a condition which could be repaired, after fine
                                     gritblasting the property on all sides , we commence to rake out and repoint
                                                        and finaly sealing all walls with a stoneplus 20

                                                insulation installed, we repointed and weathersealed brickwork
 
 
 
 
 
 
               
 
 
                                  repointing is weather struck, and neatly cut off this method is more suited
                                                    to a modern type property, preperation is the key to a good
                                                         repointing job, the raking out of the old mortar
                                                     must be to a suitable depth and then cleaned down

                                      this type of repointing is very difficult and if not carried out by
                                    experienced operatives can result in a devaluation of the property
