Repointing & brickwork specialists in Highbury

From the Georgian terraces overlooking Highbury Fields to the large Victorian villas of Highbury New Park, Highbury has some of North London’s finest period brickwork. We’ve been repointing properties like these for over 35 years.

Weather-struck repointing on a Victorian terrace in Islington, North London

Highbury’s oldest houses face Highbury Fields — the late Georgian terraces of Highbury Place and Highbury Terrace, many of them listed. Further north and east, Highbury Hill and Highbury New Park are lined with substantial Victorian houses and villas built as the area grew through the nineteenth century.

These buildings were built with lime mortar, and they need lime mortar to stay healthy. We match the mix to your original pointing and finish the joints to suit the age of the house — from fine flush and tuck pointing on Georgian fronts to weather-struck joints on later Victorian brickwork.

Conservation areas: Highbury Fields and Highbury New Park are both Islington conservation areas, and many houses facing the Fields are listed. Lime mortar is expected for repointing, and listed buildings may need consent before work starts.
