Depending on your building and extent of damage will  identify what type of repair work needs to be carried out.

Listed opposite are some of the most common types of  tasks we do.

 

 

 
PATCH POINTING - Most masonry buildings only need a small amount of mortar repair to deteriorated mortar joints. Joints requiring repair will be chipped out and a matching new mortar will be applied.  When completed, the masonry will have an even appearance and the patched areas will not be overly noticeable.
COMPLETE REPOINTING - Where a wall or an entire building must be Repointed our repointing techniques will meet high standards. It important to preserve the appearance of the building and to insure that no irreparable damage occurs during repointing or in the future. To provide an area for the new mortar, old mortar will be cleaned and raked from the joints. It is important to fully remove the old mortar so that the new mortar can adhere to the sides of the joint, not old crumbling mortar. New mortar joints will match the original in composition, colour, size and shape. It is important that the new mortar match the original in porosity and compressive strength.

 

BRICK & STONE REPLACEMENT - If necessary. missing or deteriorated brick or stones will be replaced with stone or old bricks that match the original material closely.
