Pointing and repointing in Urmston
Urmston, Flixton and Davyhulme are almost entirely inter-war semis — good red brick, tile-hung or rendered bays, ninety-year-old pointing — with a few Victorian villas around the station and Crofts Bank. It is one of the most consistent areas we work in: the same house type, the same faults, the same fix, repeated.
The fix is a full front raked out to 20 mm, spalled bricks replaced with matching reclaims, cills re-bedded and the whole thing repointed in a weather-struck or bucket-handle joint to match the neighbours. Gables and chimneys added while the scaffold or tower is up. About forty minutes from Rochdale on the M60.
