Walls and ties
-
Boundary walls run to two metres as permitted development, or one metre where they follow a road or its footpath, and we confirm which yours is before quoting.
-
A wall stands on its foundation, so piers, copings and a proper trench come first rather than a spade's depth and hope.
-
Ties set 900mm across and 450mm up in a staggered pattern, tightened to 300mm centres around openings.
-
Soldier courses, arches and lintels are set out before a brick is laid, so the coursing lands where it should.
Joints and mortar
-
Anything solid-walled from before 1919 was pointed in lime and needs lime again, lime being the part designed to wear.
-
Cement stronger than the brick sends the frost into the brick face, which is the usual reason an old wall is spalling.
-
Raked to twice the joint width, and by hand wherever a grinder would take the arris off.
-
Matched on colour, sand and profile, so the finished repair does not read as a patch on the elevation.
Cracks and stone
-
Esher's interwar and postwar cavity walls are the age where ties corrode, and rusting ties show as horizontal cracking on bed joints.
-
Individual spalled bricks are cut out and matched in rather than being covered with render.
-
Natural and reconstituted stone for walling, cills, quoins and heads, always laid on its own quarry bed.
-
A rebuilt stack gets fresh lead, new pointing and flaunching, with the pots refixed on top.
