Twyford, Berkshire
Pointing in Twyford
Mortar pointing on Twyford's Victorian chimney stacks needs attention as the original lime mortar erodes. Legacy Roofing carries out chimney repointing across Twyford, using lime-compatible mixes on the older Victorian brickwork and modern OPC on the post-war housing.
The exposed chimney stacks on Twyford's station-approach terraces face the prevailing south-west weather — these stacks erode faster than comparable sheltered properties and need more frequent inspection and repointing. We include a full inspection of pot and flaunching condition alongside the repointing.

Pointing in Twyford — 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.
