Lime mortar weather-struck repointing on a period property in Wimbledon, South West London

Camden is one of London’s most architecturally diverse boroughs. The wide Georgian streets of Primrose Hill and Belsize Park contain some of the finest period housing in North London, while the denser Victorian terraces of Kentish Town and Gospel Oak represent exactly the kind of brickwork that needs careful lime mortar maintenance.

We’ve worked throughout Camden for decades. The borough has an exceptional concentration of conservation areas where planning officers require sympathetic lime mortar repairs — and where using cement can constitute a planning breach. We understand these requirements and work to the correct specification throughout.
