Professional brickwork forms the solid foundation of our construction business and showcases our commitment to traditional craftsmanship. Our highly skilled bricklayers excel in structural extensions, boundary walls, decorative garden features, and delicate structural repairs. We take great care in matching existing mortar colours and brick types to ensure any new build integrates flawlessly with your period property. From precise structural load-bearing walls to traditional lime mortar repointing, we deliver structural integrity alongside a beautiful aesthetic finish. Every bond and line is executed with absolute precision to guarantee long-lasting durability.
Repointing is the process of raking out decayed or crumbling mortar from between the joints of your brickwork and replacing it with fresh, durable mortar. If you notice visible gaps between bricks, loose mortar falling away, or internal damp patches caused by driving rain, your walls need repointing.
Yes, this is a core part of our expert bricklaying service. We source materials from specialist merchants to closely match the colour, size, texture, and density of your original bricks, and we carefully mix the mortar to ensure the extension or repair blends seamlessly with your period property.
Cracks can be caused by minor thermal expansion, seasonal ground movement, or more serious structural settlement. While fine hairline cracks in mortar joints are common and easily repaired, wide, diagonal stair-step cracks through the actual bricks should always be inspected immediately to protect structural integrity.
Older period properties built before the mid-20th century were constructed using softer bricks and breathable lime mortar. Using modern, rigid Portland cement on these buildings traps moisture and causes the faces of the bricks to fracture (spall). We use traditional lime mortar blends to ensure proper flexibility and moisture evaporation.
From structural foundations to the final bespoke finishes, we partner with you to deliver exceptional craftsmanship that stands the test of time. Contact our team today to arrange a detailed, no-obligation consultation for your next project.
