New brickwork
-
Garden and boundary walls go to two metres as permitted development, or one metre where the wall runs alongside a road or its footpath, so we check yours first.
-
Piers, copings and proper foundations, because a wall dug only as deep as a spade is a wall that ends up leaning.
-
Cavity ties at 900mm across and 450mm up, closed to 300mm around every opening, in a staggered pattern.
-
Lintels, arches and soldier courses set out first, so the coursing lands right rather than being fudged at the end.
Repointing
-
Pre-1919 brickwork wants lime rather than cement, because lime is the softer part of the wall and erodes instead of your bricks.
-
Hard cement pointing on a soft brick pushes the frost damage into the brick face, which is why old walls spall.
-
Joints raked out to twice their width, by hand where a grinder would widen them.
-
Mortar matched for colour, sand and joint profile, so the repair does not read as a patch.
Stone and repairs
-
Cracks stitched with helical bars bedded across the joints, once we have worked out what moved and stopped it moving again.
-
Spalled and blown bricks cut out singly and replaced with a match, rather than rendered over and hidden.
-
Natural and reconstituted stone walling, cills, quoins and heads, laid on the bed the stone was quarried on.
-
Chimney stacks rebuilt, releaded and repointed, with the flaunching renewed and the pots made secure.
