Repointing Newcastle

Do you have a brick wall that is falling apart, have developed recessed joints and is in bad need of repointing? Mortar joints in a brick wall deteriorate with time and they begin to recess. The recessed joint starts retaining water which seeps in the wall and before you know starts to leak inside the property. A brick wall can also develop cracks over time due to stress. These cracks can keep spreading if they are not fixed. Repointing helps repair the wall, prevents water retention and also stops the cracks from spreading. Not to mention it makes your property look nice and fresh. If you are thinking to get your wall repointed then read this guide:

Hire A Contractor: Start by hiring a contractor to repoint the brick wall. Don’t rush and don’t hire someone inexperienced just because they are cheap. Be sure to hire someone experienced so they can do a good job on your wall. Go to Google and type: “repointing Newcastle”. You will see a list of contractors. Read their reviews, shortlist a few that have good reviews. Reach out to them and discuss your need to repoint your wall.
Site Inspection: The next thing you need to do is set up appointments with the contractors you talked to. Have them visit your property so they can determine the scope of the project. Contractors decide how much they will charge based on the amount of work. Every contractor charges differently based on their experience and the amount of work they need to do. The experienced contractors who can match the color and grain precisely will charge more.
Get Estimate: Once the inspection is done have the contractor give you a quote in writing. Make sure to get the quote from at least 3 or 4 different contractors. This way you can compare their rates and hire the one who offers the best rates.
