Repointing
Repointing restores deteriorated mortar joints in brick or stone walls, preventing water ingress and structural damage. Our team uses traditional lime mortar for historic buildings and modern cement-based mixes for contemporary structures. By carefully raking out damaged mortar and replacing it with a matching compound, we enhance durability and aesthetics. This service is essential for maintaining the integrity of properties exposed to weathering and wear.
Brick Cleaning
Brick cleaning removes grime, pollution stains, and paint using TORC machines and chemical solutions. Our non-abrasive methods protect delicate surfaces while restoring original brick appearance. We address both modern and historic properties, ensuring minimal damage and long-lasting results. This service improves curb appeal and prevents decay caused by trapped moisture and pollutants.
Pebbledash Removal
Pebbledash removal involves manually stripping coarse render to expose underlying brickwork. We use precision tools to avoid damaging masonry, followed by repointing or painting. This service modernises outdated exteriors and reveals the building's original character. Ideal for property owners seeking a refreshed, traditional look without compromising structural integrity.
Paint Removal
Paint removal from brickwork employs chemical treatments and pressure washing to strip layers without harming masonry. We address issues like spalling caused by trapped moisture beneath paint. This service restores breathable brick surfaces, enhancing longevity and visual appeal. Clients benefit from a clean, natural finish that aligns with heritage conservation standards.
Stone Restoration
Stone restoration combines chemical and manual techniques to clean and repair limestone, granite, and sandstone. We use pH-specific solutions to avoid etching and apply sealants for protection. This service revitalises historic facades and modern stonework, ensuring resistance to environmental damage. Clients receive tailored solutions that balance preservation with aesthetic enhancement.

Tony fully repointed my house to the very highest standard. The house is listed in a conservation area, so they are incredibly particular about maintaining the originality of the externals. Tony met with the conservation inspectors who were delighted with his work and they are now keen recommend him to others in the area. After fully renovating a house using countless tradesmen, Tony is without a doubt the best of all and I would use him again without hesitation. Many thanks!

We had Tony and his team to clean the brickwork of our house and repoint. The quality of the work is second to none, I would say it's the best I have ever seen after years of building industry work.
Tony is an excellent professional and makes sure his work is delivered proudly. I would 100% recommend him to anyone that needs to clean and repoint brickwork.

It was a pleasure working with Tony and his team. They removed the paint off our period brick facade, and repaired it. It looks great! Service was very quick, and very reasonably priced, and totally worth it. Thanks Tony!

Really pleased with the repointing and brick repair work Tony and his team completed at our house. The brickwork at the front and back of our period home has really benefited from Tonys expertise. The work was all completed on time and to budget. The team were very polite and helpful. We have had many compliments since the work was finished. Very happy to recommend.

Tony and team repointed and cleaned our external facade, a three storey Victorian terraced house. The work was completed to a very high standard with meticulous attention to detail, the house is 1890 and now looks like it will stand perfectly till 2090. His team all have specific skills and they bring these to the table with care and dedication. All you need to bring to the table is tea/coffee and answer any questions they might have.
Tony also went above by sourcing certain sand for the job and also did extra work to ensure the copping stones and piers would stand the test of time.

Tony and his colleague did a great job cleaning spilt paint on the brickwork and paving at the front of a heritage property. His efforts ensured it matched well with the surrounding brickwork without looking discoloured and maintaining its look. My neighbours also commented on the quality of the work. I would certainly recommend them.
