Repointing & brickwork specialists in Holloway

From the early Victorian terraces around Hillmarton Road to the streets off Holloway Road and Camden Road, Holloway is full of period brickwork. We’ve been repointing properties like these for over 35 years.

Holloway was built up through the nineteenth century as London spread north from Islington — early and mid Victorian terraces of London stock brick, many with stucco detailing, on the streets between Holloway Road, Caledonian Road and Camden Road. The Hillmarton Conservation Area protects some of the best-preserved of them.

These terraces were built with lime mortar, and cement repairs do them real harm. We rake out failing joints and repoint in a breathable lime mortar matched to the original colour, texture and joint profile.
