We specialize in all forms of repointing and property repairs for the entire Yorkshire county. Why choose Grove repointing services? Use of Tower scaffolding on all jobs where deemed safe to do so. This can save hundreds of 's when having work done where most tradesmen would use fixed scaffolding with a third party company.
We use a dust extraction system when grinding out the mortar on walls which significantly reduces the amount of mess created. Please note this system can't be used on all jobs as some older buildings require other methods of mortar extraction. Gaps in the mortar caused over time by weathering and decay not only look bad but can let in water, which through constant freezing/thawing and subsequent salt deposits can cause long-term damage.
The water can get into the cavity itself and start to cause damp problems, especially you have insulated cavity walls which can lead to damage to the wall ties which can cause lifting and cracking of the brick-work.

Traditional lime repointing carried out on an 18th century home as well as other projects carried out at the property. Repointing a Georgian Farmhouse in Breighton and improvements to the patio and front path. Our Georgian farmhouse's brickwork was in dire need of some TLC when we contacted Gary of Grove Repointing after much searching for someone experienced in traditional lime re-pointing.
