Absolutely fantastic service from Mike, Tommy and the team. I was a bit unsure about committing to having the brickwork cleaned as we had a few things to budget for after we’d moved in.

Paul sent me lots of examples after the consultation and walked through the work with me in detail - really professional and friendly. Wendy always kept in touch with me to let me know what was going on daily. Mike and Tommy worked really hard and didn’t slack. I ended up having quite high expectations and the work far exceeded what I was hoping for. Thanks so much - really really appreciate the professionalism and trust as I have been burned by tradespeople in the past. I’m now looking to get the team to continue the work and repoint the brickwork when I have the funds.

We needed one side of our 200 yr old stone house repointed and Wendy organised everything for us professionally and quickly and was incredibly responsive to my many questions - Our lime pointing was scheduled for November and a few days in Storm Claudia hit and then temps dropped to well below freezing, so I had a lot of worries that Wendy reassured me on. Despite the weather challenges, the team worked flexibly around the weather and finished the pointing to a high standard and have done a great job. Will be returning to Cheshire pointing for the remaining 3 sides.

This is a company with old fashioned work values. The staff are courteous, and and queries are answered immediately; even at the weekends. The intended work was fully explained and all aspects of the job were carried out exactly as specified in the brief- nothing was missed or done to an inferior standard. The chaps arrived on time, did what they had scheduled for the day, and left with no mess left behind. They even cleaned my neighbours path and car of brick dust. This was their work ethic over the whole job, three days in total. I would certainly be recommending Cheshire Pointing.

Our services

Brick pointing

The appearance and integrity of your home depend on the mortar that fills the gaps between your bricks or stones. This is called pointing, and it protects your brickwork from leaks and decay. Pointing is a crucial aspect of house maintenance that you should not neglect.

Brick cleaning

Brick cleaning removes dirt and staining that has been deposited on brickwork. We restore and clean the brickwork without damaging the brick itself. It’s generally best to repoint to give an overall finish, as it’s common on the cleaning process old mortar can get blow out due to high pressure cleaning.

Lime mortar pointing

Traditional mass-masonry wall construction works on the basis that moisture entering a wall is able to escape as water and water vapour. Conserv Lime mortar pointing can readily handle the transmission of water and water vapour between the inside and outside of a masonry wall, owing to the complex interconnected pore structure of masonry.

Brick tinting

Brick tinting is the process of changing the colour of brickwork to match surrounding areas. This is achieved by applying a tinting solution to each individual brick. No two tinting situations are the same. We develop a specific shade of brick tint for each project to give you the perfect result.

Brick restoration 

Brick restoration refers to the process of repairing, renovating, and preserving brick structures to restore their original condition or improve their appearance. It involves a range of techniques and treatments aimed at addressing issues such as deterioration, damage, aging, or structural problems in brickwork.

Rain repellant

Colourless water-repellent liquids or creams, are intended to significantly improve the resistance to rain penetration of brickwork, stonework and pointing, without appreciably changing the appearance.

Weather struck pointing

Mortar can deteriorate and crack or fall out over time due to weather and environmental factors such aspollution, weathering or poor maintenance. If you notice damage or crumbling in the mortar between yourbricks, you may need house repointing.

Stone pointing

Stone pointing is the process of repairing and restoring the joints between stones in a masonry wall. Itinvolves removing the old mortar, cleaning the joints, and applying new mortar that matches the color,texture, and composition of the original. Stone pointing is important for preserving the structuralintegrity and aesthetic appearance of historic buildings.
