Pointing and repointing in Salford
Salford is a big borough and we cover the lot of it — Broughton, Kersal, Pendleton, Ordsall, Irlams o' th' Height, Weaste — but the work divides fairly simply. The Victorian and Edwardian houses around Higher Broughton, Kersal and Lower Broughton are good red brick with stone dressings and a lot of tall chimneys. The post-war estates are brick that has generally aged better than its pointing.
We do a lot of full front elevations here and a lot of stitching cracked lintels and re-bedding cills while we're on the wall. Conservation areas around Broughton have specific joint profiles to keep. Salford Quays and the newer riverside housing is snagging work — hollow, recessed joints on houses only a few years old. Twenty-five minutes from Rochdale down the A576.
