Ealing, London
Pointing in Ealing
Victorian and Edwardian chimney stacks in Ealing require lime mortar repointing — the London stock brick of these properties is damaged by hard OPC cement, which forces movement stress into the brick rather than the mortar joint. Legacy Roofing uses the correct hydraulic lime specification for all period chimney pointing in Ealing.
We carry out chimney repointing on the Edwardian stacks of Ealing's conservation area avenues using NHL 3.5 in a feather-edge struck profile — a specification that matches the original build's flexibility, allows the masonry to breathe, and achieves a finished appearance consistent with the conservation area character.

Pointing in Ealing — 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.
