Getting water coming in above your windows or doors when it rains?

Another damp tray job completed in Queensbury today.

The customer had been getting water ingress above the doors so we removed a course of stone to see what was going on and get into the cavity.

We installed a new damp tray above the opening, turned up at both ends so any water coming down the cavity is caught and sent back outside instead of finding its way into the property.

Once the tray was in we built all the stonework back up and pointed to match existing 👍

We’ve had some decent weather lately and water ingress is probably the last thing on peoples minds, but we all know the rain will be back before long 😂

If you noticed water coming in around or above your windows and doors during the last lot of bad weather, now is a good time to get it looked at before the rain comes back.

If you’re having a similar problem feel free to send us a message with a couple of pictures and we’ll see if we can help 👍

A recent cavity tray job completed at Mountain Queensbury.

The customer and owner of this property required our help as there was water ingress coming down the conservatory wall.
After investigating it was clear that water was getting behind the exterior wall, running down the cavity and hitting the original cavity tray that was above the original single door which is now inside the conservatory.
Our job was to put a new stepped cavity tray above the conservatory roof to prevent water from continuing to enter the conservatory.
After a battle taking part of the conservatory roof down we cracked on and got the cavity tray installed in steps, each one turned up allowing the water to drip down the steps and exit through weep vents above the lead flashing.
This was an interesting little job and the conservatory should remain dry for man years 👍

A recently completed chimney restoration in Clayton, Bradford.

This project involved four chimney stacks that had deteriorated over time, with failing mortar joints and defects around the leadwork increasing the risk of water ingress.

The work included:

• Raking out the existing cement mortar
• Repointing all four chimneys using traditional lime mortar
• Repairing and sealing the lead flashings with Lead Mate
• Re-capping all chimney pots
• Renewing the flaunching using Prompt Natural Cement

Using the correct materials is especially important on older masonry. Lime mortar allows the chimney to breathe naturally while providing a durable finish that’s more suitable for traditional buildings than hard cement mortars.

A recently finished lime pointing job in Denholm.

The cement pointing on this house in Denholm was falling out and letting water pe*****te.
Before starting we covered the windows and doors to save any damage. We removed all the cement pointing and removed the badly installed silicone around the windows and french doors. After repointing the area in lime mortar we sealed the windows and doors with trowel mastic to leave a nice clean finish.
The property is looking a lot better and will be well protected against the weather.

Looking good in Thornton.

The scaffolding is down to reveal the lovely pointing on this house in Thornton.
It’s been a big job, complete repoint, 2 cavity trays installed and all new fascia gutters and down pipes. Dry ridge installed and the back chimney repointed and flaunched.

We’re really proud of this job it’s probably one of our best to date. But we’re not done yet! We have started building a porch, the stone base is finished all ready for the door and windows to arrive.

Will be updates a long the way 👍

Recently completed re roof at Bradford.

This roof was leaking in multiple places due to broken slates a rotting velux window and a roof membrane full of holes.

The customer arranged the scaffolding on this one. We arrived and completely stripped the roof. We fitted a new velux window, all new membrane, new roof battens and brand new slates to finish.

While we were up there we pointed the chimney using lime mortar and add promo cement for the Flaunching.

It’s made a night and day difference and should stay dry for many years now.

A structural repair recently completed in Yeadon, Leeds.

The stonework above this garage opening had begun to crack and drop due to the existing Catnic lintel failing under the weight it was supporting.

To carry out the repair safely, we first installed Acrow props internally to support both the stonework and blockwork above. The failed lintel was then removed along with a course of stone and blockwork to allow access for the new support system.

A fabricated steel beam, designed specifically for the opening and load above, was installed in place of the original lintel. Once in position, the stonework was rebuilt and reinstated.

As the new steel occupied the fixing position for the garage door mechanism, we also installed a timber fixing plate to allow the door system to be securely refitted.

To complete the repair, the cracked masonry above was reinforced using a heli bar and resin system before being repointed and finished.

A challenging project with a number of different elements involved, but a great result for the customer and, most importantly, a long-term solution to the problem.

A recent water ingress issue we investigated on a property in Shelf, Halifax.

The porch roof was allowing water into the property and, after ruling out the obvious causes, we suspected there may be an issue with the cavity tray.

Once a section of the masonry was carefully removed, we discovered that although a cavity tray had been installed previously, it had been heavily damaged and was positioned below the lead flashings, preventing it from working correctly.

To rectify the issue, we removed sufficient masonry to install a new cavity tray system correctly. The trays were stepped up the roof line, each section turned up at the end to direct water towards the bottom of the roof, with a weep vent installed to allow water to discharge safely.

Sometimes solving damp and water ingress problems means looking beyond the visible symptoms and finding the root cause.

Would you know if this corner of your house was moving?

Most movement in masonry doesn’t happen overnight. It develops slowly over years, often going unnoticed until cracks start appearing or masonry begins to shift.

On this property in Shelf, Halifax, movement had progressed far enough that part of the corner needed dismantling and rebuilding before reinforcement could be installed.

The repaired corner was then strengthened using a heli bar and resin system before repointing.

It’s a reminder that small cracks and movement are often easier (and cheaper) to deal with before they become major repairs.
