Bring New Life to Your Brickwork
Restoring brick isn’t just about patching cracks—it’s about giving your building the care it deserves. Over time, bricks lose their strength, mortar crumbles, and facades can look worn from harsh weather, moisture, and years of use. Our restoration process digs deep, addressing the root issues while bringing back the charm and strength your property deserves.
But this work isn’t just for looks. Structural brick restoration reinforces the backbone of your building. From stabilizing weakened walls to repairing cracks and damaged mortar, every repair strengthens the structure and guards against future wear. Tackling these issues now saves you from bigger—and more expensive—problems later.
A restored brick facade doesn’t just stand stronger—it turns heads. Freshly cleaned and repaired brickwork breathes life into your property, adding a sense of pride and history. Whether it’s a bold wall, a stunning entryway, or a stately chimney, we help keep your building looking timeless and standing tall for years to come. Let’s bring your brickwork back to its best.

How Structural Brick Repair Helps Your Business
Structural brick repair isn’t just about fixing cracks—it’s about protecting your building and keeping it looking sharp. Here are four big reasons businesses should make brick repair a priority:
Protects People and Property
Damaged brickwork isn’t just an eyesore—it can be dangerous. Cracks, crumbling mortar, and unstable walls can lead to serious problems if left unchecked. Repairing brick strengthens your structure, making it safer for employees, customers, and anyone else who walks through your doors.
Keeps Your Investment Strong
A building is one of the biggest investments a business can make, and maintaining it is key to holding its value. Brick repair stops small problems from growing into big ones and keeps your property sturdy and durable. Think of it as a way to save money in the long run while protecting what you’ve built.
Makes a Great First Impression
When customers or clients see a clean, well-maintained building, it tells them you care about your business and attention to detail. Restored brickwork can breathe life back into your facade, making your property look professional and inviting. In the world of business, curb appeal can be a game-changer.
Builds Longevity for Your Building
Brick is tough, but even the strongest materials need a little help over time. Repairing cracks, replacing weathered bricks, and reinforcing weak areas keep your building standing tall for years. It’s about protecting what’s already there and making sure it stays solid for the future.

Structural Brick Repair Work We've Done
Reviving Your Brickwork - Our Process
Repairing structural brick takes a mix of skill, patience, and the right plan. Here’s how we approach brick repair for commercial properties.
1
Inspecting and Planning the Fix
We begin with a close inspection of the damaged brickwork. From cracks and worn mortar joints to areas hit hard by water damage or temperature swings, we leave no detail unchecked. Once we’ve sized up the problem, we map out a repair strategy. This includes matching the type of bricks and mortar to the existing structure and deciding how to tackle the job for seamless results.
2
Repairing and Rebuilding
With a plan in place, we roll up our sleeves and get to work. Using tools like pointing trowels, cold chisels, and brick trowels, we carefully remove the old mortar and any damaged bricks. For cracks or minor repairs, we mix fresh mortar to the perfect texture—peanut butter smooth—and apply it with precision. For areas that need more than a touch-up, we replace bricks and rebuild sections to restore stability and preserve the look of the structure.
3
Finishing Touches and Protecting the Future
Once the repairs are done, we clean the surrounding bricks to remove any leftover mortar and keep the surface looking polished. Proper curing is key, so we make sure the mortar sets correctly for long-lasting strength. Before wrapping up, we talk about ways to protect your brickwork, like regular maintenance and addressing potential issues caused by weather or temperature changes.

FAQs
What are some common causes of brick wall damage?
Brick walls can suffer damage from a variety of factors, including water damage, thermal expansion, and severe weather. Temperature changes cause the brick and mortar to expand and contract, leading to vertical cracks or crumbling mortar joints. Over time, a lack of regular maintenance can also contribute to further damage, especially in older buildings.
How do you repair damaged mortar joints?
We start by removing the old mortar using the right tools, such as a cold chisel and a wire brush while protecting the surrounding bricks. Then, we mix the new mortar to the correct consistency—similar to the texture of peanut butter—and apply it with a pointing trowel. Proper curing is essential to prevent future issues and keep the repaired joints in good condition.
Do you replace bricks, or can they always be repaired?
It depends on the severity of the damage. For minor damage, we can often repair the existing brickwork. However, if their face is heavily deteriorated or the stability of the structure is compromised, replacement might be the better option. We assess the type of bricks and surrounding mortar to ensure the repair blends seamlessly with the rest of the wall.
What tools and materials do you use for brick mortar repair?
We use professional-grade tools like a pointing trowel, brick trowel, and wire brush for precise work. The mortar mix is carefully selected to match the type of mortar originally used so the repair is compatible with the surrounding bricks. Following the manufacturer’s instructions for mixing and application ensures proper strength and durability.
How can I prevent damage to my brickwork in the future?
Preventive measures like regular maintenance can go a long way. Cleaning away excess mortar, addressing water damage early, and repairing minor cracks as they appear are simple steps that protect the life of your masonry. For older buildings, consulting a professional mason can help identify potential risks and extend the life of your walls.
How do you handle extensive damage to brick walls?
When the damage is serious, we might have to fix parts of the wall. This means taking out the damaged bricks and mortar. Then, we prepare the joints using materials that match what is already there. We may also need to repair the foundation if the damage is due to problems with stability.
Why is choosing the right type of mortar key for repairs?
Choosing the right type of mortar for repairs is important for several reasons. The right mortar helps ensure strong bonds, enhances durability and can prevent damage over time. It also plays a role in how well the structural brick repair matches the original structure. A good choice can improve the overall look and strength of your work.
How do you handle brick walls in older buildings?
Older buildings need special care, and the brick and mortar might have special features. We look at the cause of the damage, the width of the joint, and the kind of bricks used. We then proceed to employ suitable repair methods to repair or replace the walls in older buildings.
