Pointing and repointing in Ilkley
Ilkley is a Victorian spa town in Wharfedale gritstone — large villas around the Grove and the moor edge, stone terraces in the town, cottages in Ben Rhydding, Burley-in-Wharfedale and Addingham — and it is almost all conservation area. The owners here expect lime, a matched aggregate and a joint that looks like the original, and that is what we do.
The moor side is exposed and the south-facing villas lose their pointing early. About an hour and ten minutes from Rochdale; Ilkley is multi-day, whole-elevation work and we book it as a block.
The typical job is a full elevation on a villa off the Grove or Cowpasture Road where cement is blowing the gritstone, or a terrace in Ben Rhydding where the north gable has never been done. The stone here is often finely dressed with a thin joint, and matching that with lime takes care and time; we allow for it in the quote. Addingham and Burley-in-Wharfedale have older cottages that are the same work.
