Pointing and repointing in Stalybridge
Stalybridge has the Huddersfield Narrow Canal running through it and a mix of stone and brick housing either side. The terraces around Millbrook, Copley and up towards Carrbrook are Pennine gritstone and want lime; the town-centre and Castle Hall streets are brick and take cement. We carry both and match the wall, not the postcode.
A lot of the stone terraces here have had the wrong pointing for decades, and the tell-tale is a damp patch on an upstairs wall with pointing that looks fine from the street. We'll cut a sample joint out to show you what's behind it before quoting. Access on the hillside streets is often from the road with a tower. Thirty minutes from Rochdale.
