Brick Repointing Scaffolding in Chatham
Repointing in Chatham is a slow, careful job — usually on Victorian or Georgian brick where the original lime mortar has failed. Our scaffolds are set at the exact lift heights the mason needs so no course is out of reach. Most of the Chatham work sits inside ME4 and ME5. Mobilisation from our Medway yard runs via M2 (J3) / A2, about 1 miles past Rochester. We're based on the Medway ourselves so mobilisation is fast and lead times are short. We're regularly on sites around Chatham Maritime and Dockside Outlet. Enquiries here run a balance of residential and commercial work, so the brief always starts with a site visit. On the commercial side, Dockside Outlet keeps us busy through the year. The nearest neighbouring towns to Chatham are Rochester and Gillingham — handy if a job needs splitting across sites. From the same crew we also work Rochester, Gillingham, Strood — usually within a 20-minute drive of a Chatham site.

Brick Repointing Scaffolding FAQs from Chatham customers
How long does a repointing scaffold stay up in Chatham?+
Full-house repoints in Chatham typically run 3–6 weeks. The scaffold stays up through grind-out, brush clean and repoint — we plan strike with the mason.
How do you tie into old brick without damaging it?+
We use resin fixings into sound brick only, and we plan the tie pattern to avoid areas the mason wants to work. On Medway Council listed property we'll happily walk the pattern past the conservation officer.
Can you scaffold just one elevation for repointing?+
Yes. Most repointing jobs in Chatham start front-only. If more elevations need work we'll quote them separately or bundled — your call.
Do we need to sheet the scaffold for repointing dust?+
For grind-out work we always net the elevation being worked. It captures most of the dust and keeps the neighbours happy, especially on terraced streets in ME4.
Can the scaffold be altered once it's up?+
Yes, but only by our crew. Altering a scaffold without the right ticket isn't safe or legal. Call us if a trade needs a tweak on your Chatham job and we'll come back out.
Can you build in loading bays for slate and tile in Chatham?+
Yes — ladder-beam loading platforms are standard on Chatham roofer-access scaffolds where the roof team is handballing material. Saves their backs and your time.
