Professional brick tinting and colour-matching to blend repairs, extensions and replacements seamlessly with existing brickwork. Over 35 years of experience.
London Brickwork Repointing provides specialist brick tinting and colouring services for period properties and modern homes throughout London and the Home Counties. With over 35 years of experience, our team uses professional tinting techniques to blend brick repairs, replacements and restoration work seamlessly with the surrounding original brickwork.
Finding an exact brick match for repairs or extensions is one of the most challenging aspects of brickwork restoration. Brick tinting offers a proven solution — allowing our craftsmen to colour-match new or replacement bricks to the existing wall, making repairs virtually invisible.
Brick tinting is the process of applying specialist colourants to brick surfaces to alter or adjust their colour and tone. The technique can be used to darken light bricks, warm cool-toned bricks, age new bricks or blend mismatched repairs into the surrounding wall.
Unlike paint, professional brick tinting penetrates the surface of the brick and does not form a film or coating. This means the brickwork retains its natural appearance and breathability while achieving a much closer colour match.
New bricks rarely match original Victorian or Edwardian stock. Tinting brings new brickwork in line with the existing façade.
Where individual bricks have been replaced due to damage or spalling, tinting blends repairs invisibly into the wall.
Cleaning can sometimes expose variations in brick colour. Tinting can even out tone across the façade.
Properties with multiple phases of brickwork or varied coloured bricks can be unified with careful tinting.
Where planning requirements demand that repairs match the original brickwork, tinting provides a sympathetic solution.
Tinting allows repairs to be carried out without compromising the historic character of the building.
We assess the existing brickwork colour, tone and texture and identify the repair areas to be treated.
Using professional colourants, we develop a precise colour mix to match the surrounding brickwork.
A small test area is treated first and reviewed in different lighting conditions before full application.
The tint is carefully applied to the repair areas, building up colour in layers to achieve a natural finish.
The treated areas are blended into the surrounding brickwork to create a seamless, natural appearance.
The completed work is inspected and assessed in natural light to confirm a satisfactory result.
