Walls and brick
-
Two metres is the permitted development limit on a boundary wall, one metre beside a road or footpath, and listing removes it entirely, so we check first.
-
Proper foundations under piers and copings, since the wall that leans is always the one built off a spade-deep trench.
-
Cavity ties at 900mm horizontal and 450mm vertical centres, staggered, and down to 300mm around any opening.
-
Arches, soldier courses and lintels set out ahead of laying, so the coursing comes out right and not fudged.
Lime and mortar
-
Farnham's Georgian red brick frontages are lime-built and need lime, which erodes in place of the brick as it was meant to.
-
Cement over soft handmade brick pushes frost into the face, and a spalled Georgian elevation is expensive to put right.
-
Raked twice the joint width, hand-cut where a grinder would damage the brick edges.
-
Sand, colour and profile matched to the existing, so the repair disappears into the elevation.
Stone and stacks
-
On a listed frontage the mortar mix and joint finish may be conditioned, so the specification is agreed before work starts.
-
Spalled and blown bricks are taken out one by one and replaced to match, not hidden under render.
-
Stone heads, cills, quoins and walling, natural or reconstituted, always bedded the right way up.
-
A stack comes down, goes back up, gets releaded and repointed, with new flaunching and secure pots.
