Pointing and repointing in Ashton-in-Makerfield
Ashton-in-Makerfield, Bryn and Garswood are colliery towns and the terraces around Gerard Street, Bryn Street and Wigan Road are late-Victorian red brick built for pit families. Plain, solid and now well overdue a proper repoint. Cement in a bucket-handle joint, done a front or a gable at a time.
As across the coalfield, we check for settlement cracks before quoting — some walls need a stitch before pointing is worth doing. The inter-war semis around Golborne Road and towards Haydock are bays, gables and chimneys. About fifty minutes from Rochdale; we'll group jobs on this side and take whole-house work.
