Brick restoration and repointing on a Victorian terrace in Newham, East London

Forest Gate’s Woodgrange Estate conservation area comprises around 800 double-fronted Victorian houses built between 1887 and 1892, with streets named after the Oxford Martyrs — Latimer, Ridley and Cranmer. To the north, ‘Forest Gate Village’ has further Victorian terraces close to Wanstead Flats.

Newham has nine conservation areas in total, including Forest Gate Town Centre, the Romford Road conservation area and East Ham, each containing Victorian and Edwardian brickwork that benefits from lime mortar repointing rather than hard cement. We work to the correct specification throughout.
