Repointing & brickwork specialists in Dalston

From the Tudor-Jacobean square and Italianate villas of De Beauvoir Town to the Victorian terraces around Ridley Road, Dalston has a striking mix of period brickwork. We’ve been repointing properties like these for over 35 years.

Brick restoration and repointing on a period property in Hackney, East London

De Beauvoir Town conservation area was the first large-scale planned housing development in Hackney, centred on De Beauvoir Square with its Tudor-Jacobean style houses, shaped gables and decorative chimneys. To the south, Benyon Cottages on Hertford Road and the Italianate villas of Northchurch Terrace date from the 1830s and represent some of Hackney’s finest early Victorian housing — much of it covered by an Article 4 Direction protecting original details such as garden walls, railings and windows.

Nearby, the smaller Albion Square conservation area contains early Victorian housing around Lavender Grove, while the St Mark’s conservation area above Ridley Road market includes large family homes on St Mark’s Rise. We work to the correct lime mortar specification across Dalston, De Beauvoir and the surrounding streets.
