Ribchester is a historic village on the banks of the River Ribble, known for its Roman fort (Bremetennacum) and its well-preserved historic buildings. The village has a mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian cottages, and older stone-built properties, many of which are listed. The Roman Museum and the Grade I listed St Wilfrid’s Church are the principal landmarks. Brickwork and stonework here often requires lime mortar to preserve the integrity of older structures.
Cheshire Pointing Ltd brings specialist brick repointing, cleaning, and restoration services to properties throughout Ribchester. Whether your home is a Georgian townhouse with decorative stonework, a Victorian terrace with ornamental brickwork, or a later inter-war build, our experienced team understands the materials and techniques needed to deliver a lasting, high-quality finish. We take care to match mortar colour, joint profile, and brick character so the completed work sits naturally with the rest of the building.
