Whitworth · gritstone terraces and cottages, some brick
Pointing and repointing in Whitworth
Whitworth, Facit and Shawforth are almost entirely stone — gritstone terraces built with lime. Most of the problems we see here are old cement repointing blowing the stone faces and holding water against the wall. We rake it out and repoint in lime, matched to the sandy colour of the original.
It's a fifteen-minute run up the valley from our base.

"Told us the house needed lime, explained why, and showed us a dried sample against the old mortar before starting. Damp patch in the front room has gone."
