How it runs.
Find the cause
Movement, moisture or old mortar. We fix the reason, not just the crack.
Rake out
Old joints removed to an even depth without damaging the brick.
Replace and stitch
Spalled bricks swapped, cracks stitched where needed.
Repoint
Mortar matched in colour and strength, struck to the original profile.
What good looks like.
Most tired brickwork is fine underneath. The joints have simply done their job and worn away first, which is exactly what they should do.
Repointing
Joints raked to an even depth and refilled with a colour-matched mortar. Lime for older walls that need to breathe, cement for most modern brick.
Repairs
Cracked walls stitched, spalled bricks replaced, lintels and arches rebuilt. We always find the cause before we quote the fix.
