We at Pointing by Tony Wallace are a team of workers specializing in masonry services and have been working in London and surrounding areas for a long time now. Customer satisfaction is our priority and we make sure that they also get the best rate for services.

Some customers who have little or no knowledge about house maintenance may get anxious in choosing services. We have got you covered!

Pointing service is needed when gaps start to form between bricks. This is very dangerous for the structural stability of the building and hence should be taken care of as soon as possible. The gaps can form due to both harsh environmental conditions and aging of the building because the mortar which is used as filling between the bricks, to act as a cushion too, has a shorter lifespan than the bricks. It deteriorates at a faster rate. In this service, our workers first remove the old mortar and apply the fresh mortar, which acts as a gap-filling adhesive. We use the best quality cement in making the mixture of mortar to make sure that the service lasts longer.

Pebble Dash is a harsh layer of pebbles, lime, sand, gravel and shells and that is why it is used on the exteriors of the walls to protect from intense environmental conditions. Some people may find it unappealing. Removing the pebble dash layer needs to be done with caution, as an inappropriate removal method can damage the internal brickwork. Our specialists have been successfully removing pebble dash layers for many years now in Bethnal Green. They use manual tools to remove the layer to avoid damage to bricks. If a brick gets accidentally damaged, our workers will restore it to at least good condition if original would not be possible. Further stability can be achieved by the pointing process.

The customers of Tony Wallace are modern people who appreciate positive changes in surroundings. It can be something as simple as a change of paint.

For the paint that is not too old, we try to use water only. The water pressure helps to soften the existing layer of paint. If the action of water does not give any favorable results, then we resort to using harsh chemicals, like phosphates, to help in the process. The water pressure and chemicals may damage some bricks and our team is fully aware of that. We will repair the bricks to a good and satisfactory condition if not original. The structural stability of the building will not be compromised in any case.

The paint removal process can be a little tricky; therefore, we advise our customers to avoid using any tips and tricks from the internet and only consult professionals.
