Kingston upon Thames is one of South West London’s most desirable and historically rich areas, known for its riverside properties, Georgian buildings, Victorian terraces, and Edwardian homes. Much of the area’s architecture features traditional London stock brick façades built using breathable lime mortar systems.
Due to Kingston’s proximity to the River Thames, properties here are naturally more exposed to moisture and environmental wear. Over time, cement-based repointing, paint coatings, and render applications have caused many buildings to lose their ability to breathe properly.
This often leads to brick face spalling, cracked mortar joints, damp issues, and chimney deterioration.

Kingston properties commonly feature
Riverside conditions make breathable materials essential. When cement mortar is used, moisture becomes trapped within the brickwork, accelerating deterioration.
Often, brickwork involves a combination of these services for the best results.
We carefully remove failing or cement-based mortar and reinstate breathable lime mortar suited to period construction.
Proper repointing:
We repair and replace damaged bricks using reclaimed or carefully matched materials to maintain a seamless, natural finish.
Using low-pressure, conservation-safe steam cleaning systems, we remove pollution staining, algae, and environmental build-up without damaging delicate brick surfaces. This is particularly important for riverside properties.
Many Kingston properties were painted during past renovations. We safely remove coatings to restore breathability and reveal original brick façades.
We carefully remove render and pebbledash finishes, restoring exposed brickwork using traditional restoration techniques. This can significantly improve both appearance and value.
