Brick Repointing Scaffolding in Faversham
Most Faversham 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 Faversham work sits inside ME13. Mobilisation from our Medway yard runs via M2 (J6) / A2, about 9 miles past Sittingbourne. Conservation-area sheeting and a quiet, tidy build are usually the unspoken requirement. We're regularly on sites around Graveney Road industrial estate. From the same crew we also work Sittingbourne, Whitstable, Canterbury — usually within a 20-minute drive of a Faversham site. Swale Borough Council runs the local authority side, including any pavement licences. Building stock around Faversham is mostly Georgian townhouse and listed period property, which shapes how a scaffold has to go up.

Brick Repointing Scaffolding FAQs from Faversham customers
How long does a repointing scaffold stay up in Faversham?+
Full-house repoints in Faversham 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 Swale Borough 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 Faversham 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 ME13.
Do you give a quote without seeing the property in Faversham?+
We give an indicative price over the phone if it's a standard job, but every written quote for Faversham comes after a free site visit — that's the only way the price reflects the actual access, building height and trade requirements.
Can you scaffold for tile-hung wall renewal in Faversham?+
Yes — and on tile-hung properties in Faversham we'll usually combine the roof access and the wall access into a single lift so your roofer isn't paying for scaffold twice.
