Maidenhead, Berkshire
Pointing in Maidenhead
Chimney stacks on Maidenhead's Victorian and Edwardian properties need lime mortar repointing — hard OPC cement on these buildings causes the movement stress that eventually cracks brick faces. Legacy Roofing carries out chimney and ridge pointing across Maidenhead in the appropriate mortar specification.
The Victorian terraces around St Luke's Road in Maidenhead have the typical soft red brick construction of Thames Valley Victorian terraces — soft, lime-based mortar repointing is essential on these stacks. We select the NHL specification to match the flexibility and porosity of the original build.

Pointing in Maidenhead — 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.
