Most of the time, people come to me thinking they need repointing and it turns out that’s just the start of it. Failed pointing leads to water getting in, water leads to brick damage, brick damage leads to structural movement. By the time I’m on the scaffolding the scope is often bigger than the initial survey suggested.
A full facade restoration addresses everything in one programme of works — repointing all the failed joints, replacing damaged bricks, cleaning the elevation, and dealing with any structural issues. Everything done once, done properly.
I manage the whole job from quote to completion. I write a clear specification before we start so you know exactly what’s included and what it will cost. No surprises halfway through.
- Full survey and written specification before any work starts
- Repointing, brick repairs, cleaning and structural work all in one programme
- Appropriate lime mortar matched to the original brickwork throughout
- Helifix stainless steel structural repair systems where required
- Experienced with listed buildings and conservation areas
“Chris at London Brickwork Repointing repointed the front of my house in N16. Three reasons why I’d use him again: he is highly experienced and skilled, he’s careful, helpful and trustworthy, and he gets the job done at a fair price. Rare to get all three these days!”
