Windsor, Berkshire
Pointing in Windsor
Lime mortar repointing is the correct approach for Windsor's Georgian and Victorian chimney stacks — the soft brick construction of these buildings requires a mortar that flexes with the masonry rather than a hard cement that will eventually cause spalling. Legacy Roofing uses the correct hydraulic lime specification for period chimney pointing across Windsor.
Chimney stacks in Windsor's conservation area are occasionally visible from public vantage points around the castle and the Long Walk — the visual quality of the repointing matters as much as its technical performance. We strike joints to match the original profile and use a mortar colour that blends with the existing brickwork.

Pointing in Windsor — 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.
