Brick Repointing Scaffolding in Sevenoaks
A repointing scaffold in Sevenoaks needs the tie pattern planned around the brickwork the mason wants to work — we don't tie into failed joints or spalled brick. That's how you keep the wall intact while the pointing is redone. Most of the Sevenoaks work sits inside TN13 and TN14 and TN15. Mobilisation from our Medway yard runs via M25 (J5), about 7 miles past Tonbridge. Most jobs here run around school runs, parking restrictions and weekend deliveries. We're regularly on sites around Vestry Road Estate and Riverhead retail park. From the same crew we also work Tonbridge, Westerham, Swanley — usually within a 20-minute drive of a Sevenoaks site. On the commercial side, Riverhead retail park keeps us busy through the year. Building stock around Sevenoaks is mostly Edwardian semi and Kentish ragstone cottage, which shapes how a scaffold has to go up. The nearest neighbouring towns to Sevenoaks are Tonbridge and Westerham — handy if a job needs splitting across sites.

Brick Repointing Scaffolding FAQs from Sevenoaks customers
How long does a repointing scaffold stay up in Sevenoaks?+
Full-house repoints in Sevenoaks 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 Sevenoaks 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 Sevenoaks 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 TN13.
Do I need a scaffold licence in Sevenoaks?+
If the scaffold sits on the public footway or road, Sevenoaks District Council usually requires a highways licence. If it's entirely on private ground at your property in TN13, you usually don't. We'll tell you which applies on the site visit and we can handle the licence application.
What happens at handover on a Sevenoaks scaffold?+
You get a scaffold tag, an inspection sheet and a written handover note. Anyone who works off the scaffold should check the tag — we re-inspect every seven days while it's up.
