Brick Repointing Scaffolding in Sittingbourne
Repointing in Sittingbourne 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 Sittingbourne work sits inside ME9 and ME10. Mobilisation from our Medway yard runs via M2 (J5), about 12 miles past Maidstone. Site inductions, programme dates and out-of-hours mobilisation tend to drive the brief. We're regularly on sites around Eurolink industrial estate and Kemsley paper mill area. Building stock around Sittingbourne is mostly post-war semi and warehouse, which shapes how a scaffold has to go up. Enquiries here run a balance of residential and commercial work, so the brief always starts with a site visit. For residential scaffold work specifically in Sittingbourne: your home treated like ours. On the commercial side, Kemsley paper mill area keeps us busy through the year.

Brick Repointing Scaffolding FAQs from Sittingbourne customers
How long does a repointing scaffold stay up in Sittingbourne?+
Full-house repoints in Sittingbourne 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 Sittingbourne 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 ME9.
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 Sittingbourne job and we'll come back out.
Are you insured to work on my property in Sittingbourne?+
Yes — £5m public liability and full employer's liability for every operative. Certificates are sent with the quote on any Sittingbourne job that needs them.
