The Harringay Ladder — the grid of streets built between 1880 and 1900 — is one of North London’s finest collections of late-Victorian terraces. The soft handmade bricks and lime mortar joints of this period need careful treatment. Hard cement repointing causes the bricks to crack over time and traps moisture, leading to frost damage and spalling.
We work across Harringay regularly and understand the detailing of these terraces — from decorative banding and date stones to the sash windows and corbelled eaves. We carry out full front elevation repoints, spot repairs and chimney work, and always visit personally before quoting.

“Chris is a craftsman and master pointer. He made a really beautiful job of repointing the whole side of our building. I can’t recommend him highly enough.”
