Winnersh, Berkshire
Pointing in Winnersh
Chimney stacks on Winnersh's inter-war housing are now between 80 and 90 years old — at this age, mortar joints need systematic inspection and repointing to prevent water ingress. Legacy Roofing carries out chimney repointing and ridge pointing across Winnersh in the correct mortar specification for each building's age.
The 1930s semi-detached properties on the Reading Road and Station Road corridors in Winnersh were built with a mortar mix that is now eroding at the joints — we see powdering and recession in the joints on these stacks and repoint in a lime-compatible mix that matches the flexibility of the original construction.

Pointing in Winnersh — 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.
