Bracknell, Berkshire
Pointing in Bracknell
Mortar pointing on Bracknell's older chimney stacks and ridge beds is a regular maintenance requirement across the New Town estates. Legacy Roofing carries out chimney repointing and ridge mortar repairs across Bracknell, raking joints out fully before applying new mortar in the appropriate mix for the substrate and the exposure.
Chimney stacks on Bracknell's earliest housing — built in the early 1950s for the first-phase New Town residents — used a heavier, traditional cement mortar mix that is now eroding. We assess the existing mortar type and depth before selecting the replacement mix.

Good to know
Pointing in Bracknell — 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.
