Pointing and repointing in Haslingden
Haslingden and Helmshore are stone towns on the exposed west end of Rossendale, and the wind comes over Grane and Musbury straight at them. The terraces around Deardengate, Bury Road and the Helmshore mill housing are gritstone in lime, and the cement that has been put on since is doing the usual damage. Lime repointing, raked by hand, is most of our work here.
Helmshore has a conservation area around the mills and the older cottages up Grane Road are old enough that the joint profile matters. Twenty-five minutes from Rochdale via Edenfield.
The typical job is a gable-and-chimney together on one of the terraces facing west towards Grane, or a full elevation on a Bury Road or Blackburn Road house where cement is blowing the gritstone. Helmshore's mill cottages and the streets around the textile museum are the oldest stone in the town and want the finest joint. Rising Bridge and Acre are the same work, ten minutes further up.
