Farnborough, Hampshire
Pointing in Farnborough
Chimney stacks on Farnborough's post-war housing need systematic repointing as mortar joints erode. Legacy Roofing carries out chimney and ridge pointing across Farnborough in the correct OPC specification for post-war brick construction.
We find that chimney stacks on Farnborough's estate housing often present with multiple eroded joint runs rather than isolated areas of failure — the mortar used in rapid 1950s construction was not always consistent in mix ratio, and some stacks show accelerated erosion in sections where the original mix was under-specified.

Pointing in Farnborough — 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.
