Pointing and repointing in Shipley
Shipley and Baildon are stone in lime, and Saltaire — the model village — is a World Heritage Site where the pointing has to be lime, hand-finished and matched exactly. We do that work. The terraces around Shipley town centre and up Baildon Bank are gritstone that has been cement-pointed and is blowing; the villas around Nab Wood have carved dressings that want a fine lime joint.
About fifty-five minutes from Rochdale on the M62 and M606, grouped with Bradford and Bingley. Multi-day jobs only, realistically.
In Saltaire the joints are fine, the stone is ashlar and the finish has to be flush and hand-struck to match Titus Salt's original; we do it slowly and it shows. Baildon and Baildon Bank are exposed to the north and the gables and chimneys carry the weather. Windhill and the streets towards Idle are mill terraces where a full front, raked out and lime-pointed, is the usual job.
