Brickwork Repair, Repointing, Restoration Work Dunham on the Hill
There is nothing quite as appealing as bricks with real character. However, as bricks age and develop their unique charm, the mortar between them often begins to deteriorate, which not only spoils the appearance but also compromises the structural integrity of the brickwork itself.
At Dunham on the Hill Builders, we offer a complete service for the repair of all types of interior and exterior brickwork. This includes repairing any damaged bricks and reinforcing the brickwork where necessary to ensure lasting strength and stability.
Brickwork repairs and repointing work together to restore the condition of brick and stone walls. Repointing involves renewing mortar joints that have failed by carefully raking out old, weathered or cracked mortar to a sound depth, then repacking and finishing with a carefully matched mortar mix and colour. For period properties and solid wall construction, we use lime mortar to maintain authenticity and allow the walls to breathe properly.
Brick repairs address a range of issues including spalled or damaged brickwork, brick matching and replacement, blockwork, lintel repair and replacement over openings, rebuilding sections that have failed, and repairing cracks where bricks have moved or split. We use matched bricks and mortar throughout to ensure repairs blend seamlessly into the existing wall.
We offer additional building services in Dunham on the Hill including structural wall work, extension building and more.
If you would like a professional estimate for repairing the brickwork at your property, call our Dunham on the Hill team on 0800 161 5815. We would be delighted to help.
