Airtight FAQs

Roofing and Pointing FAQ's

Q: How do I know if my property needs re-pointing, what are the signs?
 
A: When the mortar between the bricks starts to soften or fall out then it is a sign that your building will soon need re-pointing. If you notice that your walls are also damp, this can be a sign that moisture is leaking into the building due to damaged mortar. If you spot these signs early, re-pointing can eliminate further damage to the property.

Q: How long does work usually take to complete?

A: That depends entirely on the size of the job itself. But, we can give you a very realistic estimate once we have viewed the job.

Q: How long will re-pointing last for? Will it need to be re-done in the future?

A: Airtight offer a 20 year guarantee on all re-pointing work we carry-out. However, the re-pointing should last considerably longer than that meaning that it rarely becomes necessary to do the work again.
 
Q: Do you offer any guarantees on work?

A: Yes, we offer 20 year guarantees on both pointing and full re-roofing jobs. We can also offer insurance based guarantees too.

Q: What areas do you serve?
 
A: Airtight offer their roofing and pointing services to customers all over the North West of England. Areas we commonly cover include Greater Manchester, Bolton, Darwin, Stockport, Liverpool, Wigan, Preston, Bury, Chorley and any other surrounding areas.

Q: Do you offer your services to commercial or only domestic?
 
A: Our services are offered to both commercial and domestic customers. If you would like to discuss domestic work in detail please contact us on 07976 672773 for a quote.

Q: Do I need to wait until Summer to have work done?
 
A: Waiting until Summer isn’t necessary. If you notice broken or damp mortar on your property then it is best to get the re-pointing work done immediately to prevent further damage. So long as it is not raining work can be carried out. If the temperature drops below 0 degrees however, work will need to be put on hold temporarily.
 
Q: Do you offer a quotation? If so do they cost anything?
 
A: Yes, we offer a free No obligation quote for all work. Please call 07976 672773 if you are thinking of using our services.
