Complete Façade Restoration for Period and Heritage Properties

London Brickwork Repointing specialises in full façade restoration for Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian properties throughout London and the Home Counties. With over 35 years of experience, we deliver complete front elevation restoration that preserves the character and integrity of period brickwork for decades to come.

A full façade restoration addresses every aspect of the brickwork in a single, coordinated programme of works — from mortar repairs and brick replacement to cleaning, tinting and finishing. The result is a sympathetic, long-lasting restoration that enhances the appearance of the property while protecting the underlying structure.

What Does Full Façade Restoration Involve?

No two properties are identical and no two restoration programmes are the same. Following an initial survey, we develop a tailored scope of works that may include:

Repointing

Complete removal and replacement of defective mortar using appropriate lime-based mortar matched to the original.

Brick Replacement

Damaged, spalled or missing bricks replaced with carefully matched reclaimed or handmade bricks.

Brick Cleaning

Professional cleaning to remove pollution, staining and biological growth and restore original colour.

Brick Tinting

Colour matching and tinting to blend all repairs seamlessly with the surrounding original brickwork.

Paint Removal

Safe removal of historic paint and render to reveal and restore original brickwork beneath.

Crack Repairs

Structural crack stitching and Helifix reinforcement where required to stabilise the masonry.

Why Full Façade Restoration Matters

Period properties are often affected by decades of weathering, inappropriate repairs and unsuitable materials. Isolated patch repairs can be visible and ineffective if the wider brickwork is in poor condition. A full façade restoration addresses all defects in a single programme, producing a consistent, high-quality finish that improves both appearance and performance.

For listed buildings and conservation area properties, a coordinated restoration approach is often required by planning authorities to ensure works are sympathetic to the original character of the building.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a full façade restoration take?
It depends on the size of the property and the extent of works required. A typical Victorian terrace may take one to three weeks. We will give you a clear programme of works with your quotation.
Do I need planning permission for façade restoration?
In most cases, like-for-like repairs do not require planning permission. However, for listed buildings or properties in conservation areas, we recommend checking with your local authority. We can advise on this during our survey.
Can you match the original mortar colour?
Yes. We carry out careful analysis of the existing mortar and produce sample panels before committing to the full restoration. This ensures the new work blends seamlessly with the original brickwork.
Do you source matching replacement bricks?
Yes. We have extensive experience sourcing reclaimed and handmade bricks to match original Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian brickwork. Where an exact match is not available, brick tinting can be used to blend repairs.
Do you provide free surveys and quotations?
Yes. We provide free site surveys and no-obligation quotations throughout London and the Home Counties.
