Need Any Help?
Wanstead is a jewel of East London, defined by its leafy streets, open green spaces like Wanstead Flats, and impeccably preserved period homes. From the grand villas of the Lake House Estate to the charming cottages of Wanstead Village, the local architecture requires a specialist level of care. General building practices often fail to meet the aesthetic and structural needs of these historic E11 properties.
Need Any Help?
Wanstead’s period homes were built to breathe. We exclusively use Natural Hydraulic Lime (NHL) to prevent damp and brick decay. For homeowners seeking the ultimate heritage finish, we provide decorative Tuck Pointing, a highly skilled technique that creates a sharp, geometric perfection on weathered brickwork.
We utilize the DOFF Superheated Steam system (150°C) to safely remove carbon soot, algae, and atmospheric grime. This method is favored by architects and conservationists across E11 because it cleans effectively without the use of harsh chemicals or damaging high pressure.
Many Wanstead properties have been covered in masonry paint that hides their original vibrant brickwork and traps moisture. We safely strip these layers using specialized softeners and DOFF steam, restoring the building’s natural transpiration and curb appeal.
Restore your home to its 19th-century glory. We carefully remove unsightly pebbledash and modern cement renders that may be hiding damp or structural issues, followed by full brick restoration and repointing.
From structural crack stitching using Helical Bars to the surgical replacement of spalled (blown) bricks, we handle all aspects of masonry repair. We source reclaimed bricks that match the unique “Wanstead Red” and London Stock palettes perfectly.

If you see the faces of your bricks flaking off or turning to dust, they are spalling. This is usually caused by trapped moisture. Our restoration service involves replacing these bricks and repointing in lime to stop the cycle of decay.
