Croydon is one of South London’s largest and most diverse boroughs, featuring a wide mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian homes, 1930s semi-detached properties, and more modern housing developments. Much of the older housing stock was built using traditional London stock brick and breathable mortar systems designed to regulate moisture naturally.
Over time, however, many Croydon properties have been repointed using hard cement mortar or covered with render and paint. While these materials may appear strong, they are often incompatible with older brickwork and can trap moisture within the walls.
This commonly leads to cracked mortar joints, brick face spalling, damp issues, and chimney deterioration.
