Pointing and repointing in Skipton
Skipton is a Dales market town in stone — gritstone terraces around the town, older limestone and gritstone houses along the High Street and the canal, cottages in Embsay, Carleton and Gargrave — and nearly all of it is conservation area. Lime, matched aggregate, original joint profile: that is the standard and we work to it.
The limestone in particular is unforgiving with cement and needs a lime with a compatible aggregate. About an hour and ten minutes from Rochdale; jobs here are a week and we book them as a block.
The typical Skipton job is a full elevation on a High Street or Newmarket Street terrace — cement out by hand, lime in with an aggregate matched to whichever stone the wall is, finish struck to the original — or a cottage and its garden walls in one of the villages, where the limestone has been cement-pointed and is crumbling at the arris. Chimneys at the north end of the town take the Dales weather first.
