Islington has some of London’s finest Georgian and Victorian housing stock. The Georgian squares of Canonbury, Barnsbury and Cloudesley Square contain some of the best-preserved early 19th century brickwork in the city, while the Victorian terraces of Holloway and Highbury represent the dense residential expansion that followed. Both periods require lime mortar — cement is too hard and causes cracking and moisture problems in older brickwork.
We work across Islington regularly and understand the borough’s conservation areas. We carry out full front elevation repoints, spot repairs, tuck pointing on Georgian properties and chimney work, and always assess in person 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.”
