Need Any Help?
London properties are unique. Most houses built before 1920 use London Stock Bricks which require a specific type of “breathable” mortar.
Using modern cement on old London bricks is a disaster. It traps moisture, leading to "spalling" where the brick faces literally pop off.
Cracked or missing mortar is a direct gateway for water. Our pointing creates a watertight seal that allows moisture to escape through the joint, not the brick.
We match the color and texture of your original mortar, ensuring your home maintains its historical integrity and market value.
Different London eras require different techniques. We are experts in all heritage finishes
We use Natural Hydraulic Lime (NHL) for period properties. It is flexible, breathable, and self-healing, making it the only choice for Victorian and Georgian masonry.
A prestigious decorative finish often seen in West London (Kensington, Chelsea). We use a base mortar colored to match the brick, with a fine white lime putty “ribbon” applied over it to give the illusion of perfectly uniform brickwork.
Designed for maximum weather protection. The joint is angled to shed water away from the bricks instantly, preventing frost damage and algae growth.
The standard for modern builds and garden walls, providing a neat, clean finish that highlights the natural shape of the brick.

Prices usually range from £30 to £60 per square metre. The total cost depends on the style of pointing (e.g., Tuck Pointing is more labor-intensive) and if scaffolding is required.
If your home was built before 1930, you almost always need Lime. If it's a modern new build, Cement is usually appropriate. We provide a free assessment to tell you exactly which is right for your bricks.
A typical terraced front takes 3 to 5 days. Larger projects or those requiring paint removal first may take longer.
Yes. If your damp is caused by water "soaking" through the walls (penetrating damp), professional repointing is the most effective and permanent solution.
