Specialist Brickwork Restoration in West London

Specialist Brickwork Restoration in West London

West London is defined by its architectural elegance. From the refined “Red Rubbers” of Kensington to the iconic yellow London Stocks of Chiswick and Ealing, the masonry in this region represents some of the UK’s most valuable heritage assets. However, urban pollution, vibration from the Underground, and “botched” previous repairs can leave even the grandest facade in a state of decay.

The Unique Challenges of West London Masonry

Properties in the West of London—especially in areas like Paddington, Soho, and Hammersmith—suffer from specific environmental stresses

Sulphate Attack

Decades of traffic pollutants reacting with older mortar.

Structural Movement

The London clay soil causes settlement cracks, particularly visible in Acton and Queen’s Park.

Cement Suffocation

Many properties were “repaired” in the 20th century with hard cement, which is now causing the historic bricks to shatter (spall).

Our 4-Stage Restoration Methodology

01

The Scientific Reveal: DOFF Steam Cleaning

Restoration begins by removing “London Grime” without damaging the brick’s delicate “fire-skin.” We use the DOFF Superheated Steam system. By operating at 150°C with low pressure, we melt away carbon soot and biological growth, a method preferred by Historic England for West London’s listed buildings.

02

Precision Mortar Removal

We carefully rake out failed or cement-based mortar joints to a depth of 20mm. Using dust-extracted oscillating tools, we ensure the edges of your bricks are never “over-cut,” a common mistake made by non-specialists that can ruin a West London facade.

03

Structural & Brick Repairs

If your bricks are cracked or faces have “blown,” we don’t just patch them.

  • Brick Replacement: We source reclaimed period bricks that match the color, size, and texture of your original masonry.
  • Helical Bar Stitching: For structural cracks in areas like Hanwell or Ealing, we embed stainless steel bars into the mortar joints to “stitch” the wall back together invisibly.

04

Traditional Lime Repointing

We finish every restoration with Natural Hydraulic Lime (NHL). Lime is flexible and breathable, ensuring moisture moves out of the building rather than becoming trapped—preventing damp and keeping the internal environment healthy.

Expert Guidance on Brick Restoration West London

Find clear answers to common questions about our brick restoration services in West London, including methods, safety, heritage properties, and what to expect from professional brick restoration specialists.

Can you restore brickwork that has been painted?

Yes. We specialize in Paint Removal using non-toxic softeners and DOFF steam to strip away layers of paint and reveal the original brickwork underneath.

Do I need planning permission for brick restoration?

In most West London boroughs, restoring your brickwork to its original state does not require permission. However, if your property is Listed, we can help you navigate the "Listed Building Consent" process.

How much does restoration add to property value?

In West London, "Curb Appeal" is everything. A professionally restored facade can add significant value to a property, often far exceeding the cost of the work itself.
