Pointing and repointing in Macclesfield
Macclesfield is a silk town and the terraces around the centre, Hurdsfield and the canal are Georgian and Victorian brick, some of the older ones in lime; the hillside villages of Bollington, Rainow and Kerridge are Pennine gritstone. Two different jobs and we carry both mixes.
The town centre and Bollington have conservation areas. About an hour from Rochdale via the M60 and A523; multi-day jobs, grouped with Poynton and Wilmslow.
On the Georgian and early Victorian streets — Jordangate, King Edward Street, the area around the parish church — the brick is soft and laid in lime, and a hard cement repoint will take the arrises off it within a few winters. We use lime or a weak mix to suit. The later Victorian terraces around Hurdsfield and the station are harder brick and take a conventional 4:1 cement in a bucket-handle joint. On the Bollington and Rainow stone it is lime, hand-raked, and the joint brushed back to match the older work.
