Brick Repointing Scaffolding in Gillingham
Repointing in Gillingham 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 Gillingham work sits inside ME7 and ME8. Mobilisation from our Medway yard runs via M2 (J4) / A2, about 2 miles past Chatham. We're based on the Medway ourselves so mobilisation is fast and lead times are short. We're regularly on sites around Gillingham Business Park and Pier Road. The nearest neighbouring towns to Gillingham are Chatham and Rochester — handy if a job needs splitting across sites. For residential scaffold work specifically in Gillingham: your home treated like ours. Most enquiries from here are residential — homeowners, landlords and the builders working for them. From the same crew we also work Chatham, Rochester, Strood — usually within a 20-minute drive of a Gillingham site.

Brick Repointing Scaffolding FAQs from Gillingham customers
How long does a repointing scaffold stay up in Gillingham?+
Full-house repoints in Gillingham 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 Gillingham 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 ME7.
Do you take a deposit before the scaffold goes up in Gillingham?+
No deposit on standard residential and trade-led work in Gillingham. Larger commercial mobilisations get phased payment terms written into the contract.
Are you insured to work on my property in Gillingham?+
Yes — £5m public liability and full employer's liability for every operative. Certificates are sent with the quote on any Gillingham job that needs them.
