Need Any Help?
The mortar joints in Teddington’s Victorian and Edwardian homes play a crucial role in protecting the structure from moisture and long-term damage. Originally constructed using lime mortar, these properties were designed to breathe — allowing moisture to evaporate naturally through the mortar rather than the brick itself.
Over time, exposure to Thames-side humidity, freeze–thaw cycles, and historic cement-based repairs can cause mortar to deteriorate. When mortar fails, water penetration often follows, leading to damp issues, brick spalling, and gradual structural weakening.
