Repointing & brickwork specialists in Highgate

From the historic houses of The Grove and Pond Square to the Victorian villas on the slopes below the village, Highgate has some of London’s most important period brickwork. We’ve been repointing properties like these for over 35 years.

Lime mortar repointing on a Georgian-style house in Coombe Hill, Kingston

Highgate Village grew up on the hilltop around Pond Square and the High Street, and still has a remarkable number of seventeenth and eighteenth century houses, including those on The Grove. Below the village, roads such as Southwood Lane and Highgate West Hill have fine Victorian and Edwardian houses. Much of the area is listed, and the Highgate Conservation Area spans both Camden and Haringey.

Older brickwork like this was built with soft lime mortars, and the wrong mix can cause lasting damage. We match the original mortar carefully and finish each joint to suit the building, from fine flush pointing on Georgian fronts to weather-struck joints on Victorian houses.

Conservation areas: Highgate Conservation Area covers the village and many of the surrounding streets, on both the Camden and Haringey sides. Many buildings are listed, so lime mortar is expected and listed building consent may be needed.
