Sandhurst, Berkshire
Pointing in Sandhurst
Mortar pointing on Sandhurst's chimney stacks and ridge beds needs regular attention as the post-war housing ages. Legacy Roofing repoints chimney stacks and ridge courses across Sandhurst, raking out to a minimum of 15mm and applying the correct mortar specification for the substrate.
Many of the decommissioned chimney stacks in Sandhurst — left standing after gas central heating was installed — have not been pointed since the original build. At 60-plus years old, these stacks often present with multiple eroded joints that need systematic raking and repointing, not just surface treatment.

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.
