Need Any Help?
The mortar joints in Sudbury’s 1930s semi-detached and bay-fronted homes are vital for protecting brickwork from moisture and long-term deterioration. Although many of these properties were originally built using breathable lime mortar, mid-century repairs often introduced hard cement mortar — which can cause significant damage over time.
When mortar begins to crack, recede, or crumble, moisture can penetrate the structure, leading to damp, brick spalling, and chimney instability.
