Inside a chimney repointing job in Isleworth
Our masons explain these three parts of the job in Isleworth before any joint is raked out.
Mortar softer than the brick it holds
The National Park Service's Preservation Brief 2 sets out a basic rule for repointing. The new mortar should be softer, or more permeable, than the masonry units, and no harder or less permeable than the original mortar.
The idea is that the joint, which can be renewed, takes the stress and wear, while the brick, which is hard to replace, is protected. On chimneys in Isleworth, our masons judge the brick before choosing the mix, so the new joints work with the units instead of against them.
Lab analysis when the old mortar is a mystery
When the original mortar type is unknown, Technical Note 46 recommends sending samples to a testing laboratory, using methods such as ASTM C1324, to help determine the ingredients, proportions and strength of the original mix.
Most chimneys in Isleworth do not need lab work, because the brick and mortar can be judged on site. When the masonry is unusual or you want certainty before a large repointing job, we explain that option, what it involves and how it would change the schedule. Lab testing is optional, and we never add it without asking you first.

Tuckpointing questions from Isleworth
Straight answers from our Isleworth specialists, with no pressure to book.
Is the repointing covered by a warranty?
Yes. The joints we repoint are backed by our workmanship warranty, and every job carries our 100% satisfaction guarantee. The terms are written into your paperwork.
Can I use the fireplace while you work?
Please keep it off while the crew is working at the chimney. Exterior repointing rarely keeps a fireplace out of use for long, and we tell you when it can be used again.
