West London is home to some of the most architecturally significant masonry in the United Kingdom. From the grand, stucco-trimmed Victorian mansions of Kensington to the iconic Edwardian terraces of Chiswick and Ealing, these buildings are more than just homes—they are heritage assets.

Most West London properties built before 1930 utilize solid wall construction. Unlike modern cavity walls, these structures were designed to be “vapor-permeable.”
The mortar joints are the lungs of your building. If they are blocked by hard, modern cement, the moisture becomes trapped. This leads to
Moisture is forced through the brick into your living space.
Trapped water freezes and expands, causing the faces of your bricks to shatter (spalling).
Perished mortar allows the brickwork to shift, leading to dangerous movement.
We exclusively recommend Lime Mortar for period West London homes. Lime is flexible, allowing it to move with the natural settlement of the building without cracking. Most importantly, it is breathable, ensuring that moisture is wicked away from the brickwork and evaporated into the air.
Commonly found on the prestigious streets of Paddington, Maida Hill, and Kensington, Tuck Pointing is an elite decorative finish. We use a base mortar colored to match the brick, followed by a fine, hand-applied ribbon of white lime putty. This creates an “invisible” joint that makes even weathered bricks look sharp and geometric.
For more contemporary or heavily exposed elevations, we provide structural pointing profiles designed to shed water efficiently. Weather Struck pointing is a favorite for West London’s river-fronted properties in Chiswick and Hammersmith, where wind-driven rain is a factor.

Yes. We are experts in working with Historic England standards. Our materials (NHL Lime) and techniques (Hand-tooling) are consistently approved by conservation officers in Westminster, Hammersmith & Fulham, and Ealing.

If you see your bricks "shredding," it is almost certainly due to a previous builder using Cement. We specialize in the remedial removal of cement and the restoration of the wall's natural breathability.
