Expert heritage brick restoration across London

Heritage brick restoration is the core of our business. Period and heritage brickwork was built with lime, and it needs to be repaired with lime so the wall can still breathe.

We restore tired and damaged facades by cutting out and replacing failed bricks with hand-matched or reclaimed stock, repointing in lime mortar mixed to the original colour, and putting right the damage that years of weather and earlier hard-cement repairs have caused. We work to conservation and listed-building requirements, and because we are a full restoration contractor we also take care of the associated trades that come up on a restoration, such as stone repair and supplying and fitting timber sash and casement windows, so the whole elevation is handled by one team.

Heritage Brick Restoration In London: Your Questions Answered

Everything you need to know about heritage brick restoration. Still not sure? Just ask.

Why does old brickwork need lime and not cement?

Solid period walls move and breathe. Lime mortar flexes and lets moisture out, while hard cement traps it and pushes the damage into the bricks instead. Using lime protects the wall.

Can you work on a listed building?

Yes. We work to conservation methods and listed-building requirements. Listed work usually needs consent from your local authority, which we can work alongside.

Can you undo bad cement repairs?

In most cases yes. We carefully remove old hard-cement pointing and replace it with matched lime so the wall can breathe again.

Can you match old or handmade bricks?

Yes. We source reclaimed and hand-matched bricks so restored areas blend in with the original wall rather than standing out.

Do you also handle stonework and windows on a restoration?

Yes. As a full restoration contractor we take on the associated trades that come up, including stone repair and supplying and fitting timber sash and casement windows, so one team handles the whole elevation.

How disruptive is restoration work?

We plan the work carefully to keep disruption down, protect your property and keep the site tidy throughout.
