Repointing Balham

Repointing Balham

If the brickwork of your Balham home, commercial premises or other building needs to be repointed, you’ll need to find a professional and reputable local Balham repointing expert. Fortunately, Balham is well placed for a good number of skilled repointing firms, many of which also offer allied brickwork services to their customers.

However, there is always the risk that you could hire a Balham repointing contractor who isn’t as good as they say they are, so here are some things to check before you agree to let the tradesperson go ahead with the work:

• find out what their training and experience is – and ask to see evidence and certificates if you’re not convinced. A good Balham repointing contractor will have no issues in showing you how they’re qualified to do the job.
• ask to see examples of their recent work – again, any good Balham repointing expert won’t have a problem with this.
• check if they’ve got public liability and employer’s liability insurance – any reputable Balham repointing firm should have this. If they don’t, or they tell you it should be covered by your house insurance, don’t hire them.
• check their reputation online – there are lots of independent review sites on the web where you can see what other customers have got to say about any Balham repointing firm.
