Brickpoint London: Leading Brick Wall Repairs In The South of England

Brick wall repairs can be carried out in a variety of ways to address a long list of minor and major issues. Repairing mortar in a brick wall when damaged can improve its long term integrity, just as replacing cracked and damaged bricks at an early stage is always preferable.

Brickwork in general is extremely durable and hardwearing, though will eventually succumb to the tests of time and the elements. Therefore, we strongly recommend periodic property inspections, to detect instances where brick wall repairs may be necessary.

Examples of these include the following:

Cracked and Damaged Bricks

One or two cracked or damaged bricks might not seem much to worry about but can nonetheless indicate an issue with the integrity of your brick wall. It’s worth remembering that brick wall crack repair costs are far lower than those of major repairs or rebuilds if the problem is allowed to worsen. Repairing cracked and damaged bricks is straightforward and cost effective, just as long as the issue is addressed at an early stage.

Failed or Unsuitable Pointing

In some instances, it’s a case of the brick and wall repair mortar (or original mortar) between the brakes having not been fit for purpose in the first place. Different walls and structures call for entirely different types of mortar, though not all contractors take this into account. Whether repairing mud brick walls, modern brick walls or Victorian brick walls, the importance of using an appropriate pointing product cannot be overstated.

Decaying Mortar

The pointing used to hold bricks in place can potentially have a lifespan of up to 150 years. Most homes in and around London were built more than 50 years ago, but many have never been properly repointed. As with the bricks themselves, any signs of decaying or failing mortar should be noted and addressed at the earliest possible stage. What appears to be a minor issue on the surface could be indicative of a much more severe and widespread problem affecting your property’s safety.

Aesthetic Issues

Of course, it could also simply be that you are not happy with the visual appearance of your exterior walls. Your bricks may have faded and become unsightly, or the pointing between them may have become stained and dirty looking over the years. Brick wall repairs aren’t exclusively about structural safety and protection – they can also breathe new life into your property’s visual appearance.

If preferred, we can pay you a visit and conduct a full inspection of your property on your behalf. With absolutely no obligation to go ahead, we’ll walk you through the available options and advise you if, and to what extent, repairs are advisable.
