Chimney Repointing built for West Itchenor homes

West Itchenor is a prestigious harbourside village where waterfront homes face salt air and strong coastal winds.

Homes in West Itchenor sit close to the Channel, so salt-laden air corrodes fixings, south-westerly gales lift ridge and verge tiles, and driving rain finds any weak flashing. We specify stainless or coated fixings, mechanically fixed dry ridge and verge systems and generously sized gutters built for coastal downpours.

We rake joints back to a sound depth, then repoint with a mortar matched to your bricks. Older and listed homes get breathable lime mortar, which lets the masonry dry out and avoids damaging soft bricks.

Chimney Repointing materials & options

We use NHL lime mortar for period chimneys and colour-matched sand and cement for modern stacks, replacing spalled bricks as we go.
