Specialised Brickwork Services

Historical building restoration

Restoring historical buildings is a delicate and intricate process, and it forms a pivotal part of our specialised brickwork services. Our team possesses deep respect and understanding for the heritage and architectural significance of each structure we work on. By combining traditional masonry techniques with contemporary preservation practices, we aim to breathe new life into each building, ensuring they retain their original charm and historical integrity. Our approach involves a careful assessment of the structural and aesthetic aspects of the building, followed by a detailed plan that addresses both the visible damage and the underlying issues that could threaten its longevity. We prioritize the use of materials and methods that are sympathetic to the original construction, ensuring that any additions or repairs are indistinguishable from the original work. Our goal is to preserve the past for future generations, allowing them to connect with history in a meaningful way, through buildings that stand the test of time both physically and culturally.

Brick Pointing and joint repair

Pointing and joint repair are a crucial aspect of our masonry services, essential for maintaining the structural integrity and aesthetic quality of brickwork. Over time, mortar joints can deteriorate due to weathering, environmental stresses, or natural aging, leading to potential moisture ingress and damage. Our skilled masons employ traditional and modern techniques to carefully remove old and damaged mortar, ensuring that the new pointing blends seamlessly with the existing structure while providing enhanced durability and protection. We utilize high-quality materials that are compatible with the original masonry to prevent future damage and ensure a perfect match in texture, color, and composition. By prioritizing meticulous attention to detail and precision in our pointing and joint repair work, we ensure the longevity and beauty of your brickwork structures, preserving their value and appearance.

Masonry cleaning and sealing represent vital services that we offer to ensure the preservation and enhancement of your property’s aesthetic appeal.

Utilising state-of-the-art techniques and environmentally friendly cleaning solutions, we can restore the original beauty of your masonry without damaging the delicate surfaces. Once cleaned, sealing the masonry is an essential step to protect it from moisture penetration, weathering, and staining, thereby extending the lifespan of the material. Our sealing methods are carefully selected based on the specific type of brickwork and its location, ensuring optimal protection while maintaining the brick’s natural breathability. Together, our cleaning and sealing services maintain the integrity and appearance of your masonry structures, protecting your investment and enhancing the overall aesthetic of your property.
