Pointing and repointing in Hyde
Hyde is brick in the centre and stone on the hills. The grid of terraces around Newton, Hyde Park and the town centre is standard Victorian red brick for cement repointing; head up to Gee Cross, Godley or Werneth Low and the cottages turn to gritstone with lime joints, and the job changes completely.
We are honest about which is which because it changes the price and the mix. Gee Cross in particular has old stone that has been cement-pointed and is now blowing, and the fix is slow hand raking and lime — not a quick skim. Plenty of tall chimneys on the Victorian streets, often repointed from a tower with the gable. Thirty-five minutes from Rochdale.
