Pointing and repointing in Wigan
Wigan is the far side of our Greater Manchester work — around fifty minutes on the M61 — and there is plenty of it. The town is Victorian red brick: terraces around Whelley, Scholes, Pemberton and Ince, bigger Edwardian houses in Swinley and along Wigan Lane, and inter-war semis on the outskirts. Standish and Haigh have stone cottages that need lime.
Wigan's coalfield ground is the thing to be honest about. Stepped cracks and dropped lintels are common on the older terraces and pointing over them is a waste of money; we'll say if a wall needs stitching first. Otherwise it is full fronts, gables and chimneys, and we take on whole-house and street-run jobs here.
