FAQs

How quickly can you respond to emergency repairs?

As a local sole trader, Dave can usually respond to emergency repairs within days, depending on weather conditions and current workload. For urgent weatherproofing issues that could cause immediate damage, we prioritise emergency calls to prevent further problems. Contact us as soon as possible if you have urgent pointing repairs that need immediate attention to protect your property.

When should I call for maintenance rather than full repointing?

If only small areas of your pointing show signs of damage, maintenance and spot repairs can be a cost-effective solution. However, if damage is widespread or the pointing is generally deteriorating, full repointing might be more economical in the long run. Dave provides honest assessments of your property's condition and advises on the most appropriate and cost-effective approach.

What causes cracks in pointing?

Cracks in pointing can be caused by natural building movement, temperature changes, settlement, or poor quality original work. Weather exposure, particularly freeze-thaw cycles, can also cause cracking. Most cracks are normal and can be easily repaired, but they should be addressed promptly to prevent water penetration. Dave can assess the cause of cracks and provide appropriate repair solutions.

How often should I have my pointing inspected?

It's recommended to have your pointing inspected annually, particularly after severe weather. Regular inspections help identify minor issues before they become major problems, potentially saving significant repair costs. Dave can advise on the appropriate inspection frequency for your specific property based on its age, construction, and exposure to weather conditions.
