The re-pointing of the building has started. After a couple of test areas were completed, we have decided to repoint the building with Nosterfield River sand and Hydraulic lime. This is a traditional method that allows the building to breathe. The materials came from Womersleys in Heckmondwike that is fairly local to us.
The pointing has been completed on the chimneys so that the scaffolding at roof level can be taken down. The mid level scaffolding will be left in place so that the pointing high up can be completed.
Chimneys now re-pointed using Nosterfield River sand and hydraulic lime.
