Pointing and repointing in Westhoughton
Westhoughton's housing is red brick terraces from the mill and colliery years — Daisy Hill, Wingates, the streets off Market Street — and a lot of inter-war and post-war semis around them. Cement work, done neatly. The terraces here are exposed on the west side where the weather comes over Chew Moor, and gables and chimneys on that side are the usual failures.
Colliery ground is a factor in parts of the town and we check for it. Otherwise the typical job is a front and gable raked, spalled bricks replaced, repointed to match the street. Forty minutes from Rochdale via the M61.
