Roof Mortar and Pointing Repairs in Stockport
Mortar around chimneys, ridges and verges can look rough without being loose. A rough-looking mortar joint can still be sound. Loose or missing mortar is the part that needs repair.
If the ridge or verge moves, the repair needs more than surface pointing
Loose ridge tiles or open chimney joints need proper preparation before new mortar is added.
Smearing over old mortar rarely lasts
New mortar needs a sound edge to bond to. Loose, powdery material should be removed first.
Older brickwork may need a softer mix
Very hard cement-rich mortar can trap moisture and damage softer traditional brick or stone.
