Brick Repointing Scaffolding in Strood
Most Strood repointing enquiries are on post-war semi — 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 Strood work sits inside ME2. Mobilisation from our Medway yard runs via M2 (J2) / A228, about 1 miles past Rochester. We're based on the Medway ourselves so mobilisation is fast and lead times are short. We're regularly on sites around Medway City Estate and Frindsbury industrial area. From the same crew we also work Rochester, Chatham, Gravesend — usually within a 20-minute drive of a Strood site. Enquiries here run a balance of residential and commercial work, so the brief always starts with a site visit. Building stock around Strood is mostly post-war semi and warehouse, which shapes how a scaffold has to go up. For residential scaffold work specifically in Strood: your home treated like ours.

Brick Repointing Scaffolding FAQs from Strood customers
How long does a repointing scaffold stay up in Strood?+
Full-house repoints in Strood 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 Strood 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 ME2.
Do you cover the villages around Strood?+
Yes — we cover Rochester, Chatham, Gravesend, Gillingham from the same crew that works Strood. Send the postcode and we'll confirm.
Do I need scaffolding for a loft conversion in Strood?+
Almost always — Building Control on a loft conversion expects edge protection for any work above eaves. We design the access around the dormer or rooflight pattern your builder is working to.
