Barnet is characterised by its 1930s semi-detached homes, larger detached properties, and traditional London stock brick façades. Many of these homes were originally constructed using breathable lime mortar systems, but later repairs often introduced hard cement mortar — which can accelerate brick deterioration.
Over time, exposure to weather cycles, settlement movement, and incompatible repointing can lead to cracking mortar joints, brick face spalling, and chimney instability.
