Carefully Restoring Brickwork

Carefully Restoring Brickwork

Traditional Mortar & Brickwork Repair

Traditional Mortar & Brickwork Repair

Traditional lime mortar acts as a protective cushion, adapting to the natural movement and expansion of bricks over time, which helps prevent cracking. Unlike harder modern cement mortars, lime mortar is breathable, allowing moisture to escape from the wall rather than becoming trapped.

Our Brickwork Restoration Process

Our Brickwork Restoration Process

1. Initial Inspection & Consultation
We begin with a detailed survey to assess the condition of the brickwork and identify the most appropriate methods of repair.

2. Planning & Preparation
Our team advises on any permissions required and carefully plans the works to ensure minimal disruption to the building’s fabric.

3. Repointing & Repair
Damaged mortar is removed by hand tools and replaced with traditional lime mortar, protecting the brickwork while maintaining breathability.

4. Brick Replacement & Restoration
Where bricks are beyond repair, they are carefully matched and replaced to blend seamlessly with the surrounding structure.

5. Finishing & Aftercare
Once repairs are complete, we ensure the brickwork is fully stabilised and provide guidance on future maintenance to preserve its condition.


 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

How much does it cost to restore bricks?
Every project is different, and costs depend on the condition of the brickwork and the scale of repairs. We provide clear quotations after an initial inspection - get in touch to discuss your property.
What happens if you don't repoint brickwork?
Without repointing, mortar can deteriorate, leaving brickwork exposed to moisture and weakening the overall structure over time.
Do you use traditional lime mortar for repairs?
Yes. Lime mortar is our preferred choice as it protects the brickwork, allows moisture to escape, and helps preserve the building’s character.
Can damaged bricks be repaired or must they be replaced?
In many cases bricks can be repaired, but sometimes replacement may be necessary. We always recommend the most appropriate approach based on the condition of the brickwork.
How long does brickwork restoration take?
The timescale varies depending on the size and complexity of the repairs. We always provide a clear programme of works at the start of every project.
