Pointing and repointing in Littleborough
Littleborough and the villages up towards Blackstone Edge and Hollingworth Lake are stone — gritstone terraces, weavers' cottages and canal-side buildings that were built with lime and need repointing in lime. Cement on these walls is what causes the damp and the spalling; we take it out and put the right mortar back.
Exposure up here is severe. We schedule stone work for the right weather and protect it while it cures.
