Pointing in Richmond
Chimney stacks on Richmond's Georgian and Victorian properties require lime mortar repointing — the soft London stock brick of these buildings is sensitive to hard cement, which causes brick spalling over time. Legacy Roofing uses the correct hydraulic lime specification for all period chimney pointing in Richmond.
The chimney stacks on Richmond Hill's Georgian townhouses are visible from the protected view from Richmond Hill looking toward the Thames — the visual quality of the repointing, including joint profile and mortar colour, matters as much as its technical performance on these prominent buildings.

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.
