Common Brickwork Problems We Solve

London properties face unique environmental challenges, from city pollution to heavy dampness. We provide solutions for

Spalling Bricks

When the "fire-skin" (the face) of the brick flakes off due to freeze-thaw cycles or incorrect cement pointing.

Cracked Masonry

Addressing structural movement or tree root damage through specialist crack stitching.

Frost Damage

Repairing bricks that have become porous and "blown" due to water expansion.

Damaged Arches & Lintels

Restoring the critical structural support over your windows and doors.

The Tony Wallace "Like-for-Like" Guarantee

The biggest mistake in brick repair is using a brick that doesn’t match. An mismatched brick stands out like a sore thumb and can lower your property’s value.

Bespoke Brick Matching

We source reclaimed bricks from local London salvage yards to ensure a 100% match in color, size, and texture.

Mortar Colour Tinting

We don’t just match the brick; we match the age and patina of the surrounding mortar using specialist dyes and pigments.

Structural Stability

We don’t just fix the surface. We ensure the inner wall is secure, preventing the damage from spreading to adjacent bricks.

How much does it cost to replace a single brick in London?

While we often quote for the entire project, minor brick repairs and replacements typically range from £250 to £1,500 depending on the location (height) and the rarity of the brick required. We offer free, fixed-price estimates.

Can you repair a brick instead of replacing it?

Yes. For minor surface damage, we use specialized brick repair fillers and tints. This is often more cost-effective for decorative elements where a full replacement isn't structurally necessary.

Why are my bricks crumbling?

In London, this is usually caused by "Spalling." This happens when moisture gets trapped behind the brick face (often by non-breathable cement pointing) and freezes. Removing the cause of the damp is the first step in our repair process.

Do you provide structural crack stitching?

Yes. For moving walls, we use stainless steel helical bars and grout to "stitch" the wall back together, providing a discreet and incredibly strong structural fix.
