Need Any Help?
London is a city built on brick. From the iconic yellow “London Stocks” of the East End to the vibrant red rubbers of Kensington, brickwork defines our city’s aesthetic and structural identity. However, time, pollution, and the harsh London climate take a toll on masonry.
Need Any Help?
Many homeowners don’t realize that London’s historic bricks are porous and “breathable.” They were designed to absorb a small amount of moisture and then release it through evaporation.
When this natural cycle is interrupted—usually by the application of non-breathable cement or masonry paint—the bricks begin to fail. Our brickwork services focus on restoring this natural balance. We specialize in
Identifying the specific brick type (e.g., Flettons, Gaults, or Handmade Stocks) to ensure matching repairs.
Using Natural Hydraulic Lime (NHL) mortars that match the strength and porosity of your original bricks.
Matching the "patina" of aged brickwork so that repairs are invisible.
Different London eras require different techniques. We are experts in all heritage finishes
If your brickwork is cracking or bowing, it requires more than just a cosmetic fix. We provide engineered solutions that stabilize the building without the need for a full rebuild.
When bricks have “spalled” (where the face has fallen off due to frost damage), they must be replaced. We have extensive networks with London reclamation yards to source authentic, period-accurate bricks that match your home’s existing color, size, and texture perfectly.
The chimney is the most exposed part of your brickwork. We provide full chimney restoration, including repointing, flaunching repairs, and the replacement of damaged chimney pots to prevent dampness from entering your home through the flues.

“Pointing” (the mortar between the bricks) is the most vulnerable part of your wall. It is designed to be sacrificial, meaning the mortar should weather away over 50 years so the bricks don’t have to.
If a previous contractor used cement, the mortar becomes harder than the brick. This forces moisture to escape through the brick face instead of the joint, causing the brick to crumble. Our Lime Pointing service reverses this damage, putting the “sacrificial” element back into your wall and stopping the decay of your valuable bricks.
