Brick Repointing Scaffolding in Deal
Most Deal repointing enquiries are on Georgian townhouse — original lime mortar that's crumbled after 100+ years. We build scaffolds that let the mason grind out, brush clean and repoint each course without extending on a ladder. Most of the Deal work sits inside CT14. Mobilisation from our Medway yard runs via A258, about 8 miles past Dover. Exposed-site scaffolds, more frequent ties and corrosion-resistant fittings are normal here. We're regularly on sites around Mill Hill industrial estate. Most enquiries from here are residential — homeowners, landlords and the builders working for them. Dover District Council runs the local authority side, including any pavement licences. The nearest neighbouring towns to Deal are Sandwich and Dover — handy if a job needs splitting across sites. From the same crew we also work Sandwich, Dover, Folkestone — usually within a 20-minute drive of a Deal site.

Brick Repointing Scaffolding FAQs from Deal customers
How long does a repointing scaffold stay up in Deal?+
Full-house repoints in Deal 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 Dover District 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 Deal 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 CT14.
How long does the scaffold need to stay up in Deal?+
The scaffold stays up only as long as the trades need it — typically a week for chimney work, two to four weeks for a re-roof, longer for full refurbishments. We agree the strip date with you up front and inspect weekly while it's up.
Are you insured to work on my property in Deal?+
Yes — £5m public liability and full employer's liability for every operative. Certificates are sent with the quote on any Deal job that needs them.
