Islington is one of North London’s most architecturally significant boroughs, known for its elegant Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces, and conservation streets lined with traditional London stock brick façades.
Many of these properties were built using breathable lime mortar systems, allowing moisture to move naturally through the brickwork. However, over decades, cement-based repointing, paint coatings, and environmental exposure have caused widespread brick deterioration.
