Pointing and repointing in Altrincham
Altrincham, Bowdon and Hale have some of the best-built houses in Greater Manchester — big Victorian and Edwardian villas in fine red brick with stone dressings, rubbed arches and ornate chimneys — and they are worth pointing properly. Owners here want the joint colour and profile matched to the original, and the conservation areas in Bowdon and the Downs expect it.
We mix to match on site, use a fine joint where the original was fine, and do not smear. Timperley and Broadheath are more inter-war semis and terraces, where the job is a full front and chimneys. About fifty minutes from Rochdale; the larger villa jobs run to a week or more, so the distance is not an issue.
