Pointing in Wokingham
Mortar pointing on Wokingham's older roofscapes — chimney stacks, ridge beds, verge mortar, and parapet copings — needs regular attention to stay weathertight. Legacy Roofing carries out roof and chimney pointing across Wokingham in appropriate mortar mixes: modern OPC on contemporary properties, softer lime-compatible mixes on the Victorian and Georgian stock in the conservation area where hard cement would eventually damage the brick.
The chimney stacks on listed and locally-listed properties in Wokingham's town-centre conservation area need soft lime mortar rather than modern cement. We have carried out sympathetic repointing on stacks in the streets around the Old Market Place.

Pointing in Wokingham — 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.
