Many South London properties face specific environmental and structural challenges that require professional intervention
Decades of traffic and industrial pollutants have created “carbon crusts” on facades in Southwark and Lambeth, which trap moisture and eat away at the brick face.
Parts of South London sit on heavy clay soil. In areas like Bromley and Croydon, this can lead to settlement cracks that require specialist Helical Bar repairs.
Before we can restore, we must reveal. We use the DOFF System—the only method consistently recommended by heritage experts. Using 150°C steam at low pressure, we safely remove soot, algae, and grime without damaging the “fire-skin” of the brick. This is essential for listed properties in Greenwich and Richmond.
We carefully rake out failed or cement-based mortar to a depth of 20mm. Our team uses dust-extraction technology to ensure a clean process, protecting your South London street and neighbors from debris.
If your bricks are shattered or “blown,” we perform a surgical replacement:
We finish every restoration with Natural Hydraulic Lime (NHL). Unlike cement, lime mortar is flexible and breathable. It ensures that moisture can escape the wall, preventing the return of damp and protecting the bricks for decades to come.

Yes. For properties in areas like Croydon or Wandsworth affected by movement, we use stainless steel helical bars to "stitch" the cracks. This provides a hidden, structural reinforcement that allows the building to move naturally.
In many cases, yes. Most damp in South London period homes is caused by trapped moisture. By removing cement and repointing with breathable lime, we allow the walls to dry out naturally.
A typical restoration project for a terraced house usually takes 10 to 15 working days. We handle all scaffolding and council logistics on your behalf.
