Pointing in Ascot
Chimney stacks on Ascot's large Victorian and Edwardian houses need lime mortar repointing — the soft handmade bricks used in buildings of this era react badly to hard OPC cement, which forces movement stress into the brick rather than the joint. Legacy Roofing uses the correct hydraulic lime specification for all period chimney pointing in Ascot.
We have repointed chimney stacks on the large Edwardian houses of Sunningdale's residential roads using feather-edge struck joints in NHL 3.5 — a specification that matches the flexibility and appearance of the original work and will allow these stacks to flex with thermal and settlement movement without cracking the brick faces.

Pointing in Ascot — FAQs
Crumbling, recessed, or hollow-sounding mortar joints are signs of failure. Damp patches on internal chimney breast walls often trace back to failed pointing on the external stack.
A lime-compatible softer mix is generally right for older brick — it allows movement without cracking into the brick face. We assess the substrate before selecting a mix.
For stacks above two storeys, scaffolding is necessary for safe and accurate access. We include this in the quote.
