Pointing and repointing in Stretford
Stretford, Old Trafford and Gorse Hill are dense Victorian and Edwardian brick — long terraces, many with bay fronts, stone cills and heads, and a lot of them originally tuck-pointed. On these streets the question is usually how much of the original pointing to keep; where it's sound we leave it and repoint the failed sections in a matched joint so the change doesn't show.
The inter-war semis around Kingsway and towards Urmston are the other half of the work: bays, gables, chimneys. Chester Road and the Trafford Park side gets a lot of traffic grime, and we'll clean before we repoint so the colour match is right. Forty minutes from Rochdale.
