We offer extensive repair services for the damaged areas and do the brick restoration that brings fresh vitality to your home and its surroundings.
The finishing touches are the most important
Your chimney may seem like a purely visible home feature these days but it actually plays an extremely important role, re-directing heat, fumes, and dangerous gasses safely out of your home. If your chimney is damaged it can’t do its job. It is important to regularly check the condition of your bricks and mortar joints. Loose or cracked bricks can lead to serious damage if not fixed no to mention a hazard to the building and persons below. It could also be a sign that other repairs are needed. However often there’s a simple solution which is pointing or Re-pointing. This is a way of repairing damaged mortar by removing the old mortar and installing fresh mortar to give your chimney more stability and protection.
No job to Big
Concreting or concrete placement is an important process in the construction that determine the efficiency and overall success of a structure and its lifespan. Technical and environmental conditions are taken into strict consideration while laying concrete. The top surface of the concrete is usually horizontal unless otherwise instructed in drawings during the planning stages.
Stop the Damp!
People are sometimes surprised to discover that bricks are porous and will soak up water as quick as a sheet of paper.
The average house brick wall is designed to soak in moisture and then dry out as soon as the rain has stopped. This is why most modern homes have two walls separated by a cavity, this keeps the moisture off the inner wall so your plaster stays dry.
Unfortunately, house bricks aren’t supposed to be saturated with water permanently. If they are, there’s a good chance they will crack or spall in the winter when the temperature drops below freezing and the moisture in the bricks expands, likely transfering moisture to the inner wall.
Bring a renewed finish to your home
**We do Lime & Domestic Pointing depending on the age and nature of the job.
Have you been experiencing water seeping through your brick walls? Are there also cracks and chips in the bricks themselves? It may be time to have brick re-pointing done. This service is essential for preserving the condition of your bricks, as the mortar joints start to deteriorate over time. Brick pointing is what blocks out water from entering the building through the walls. If water continues to enter through the spaces in the weathered mortar joints, damage can occur and build up, particularly in the colder months.
Interior Re-pointing with Brick Slips:
We also create any interior wall to resemble an authentic brick wall by applying brick slips made from new or reclaimed brick.
Bringing Strength to your structure
Masonry bar (or commonly referred to as HeliBar) reinforcement is installed in horizontal mortar joints to combat shrinkage stress control and often when visual internal and external cracks appear. Common areas that these stresses may occur are above and below windows, or below concentrated loads such as beams and slabs. So that the joint reinforcement to effectively distribute stress we adequately bonded through the mortar so that the masonry and reinforcement act together.

First impressions are important
Despite being a long, flat stretch of concrete, slabs, asphalt or brick, driveways can actually be really expensive to install. The constant freeze-thaw cycles regular use is going to damage it at some point. This minor damage will normally show up as small cracks on the surface or small divots in the surface. Any cracks or defacing less than a quarter inch don't really indicate any deeper damage to the driveway surface. You'll eventually have to replace driveways that develop holes or large cracks. Patching could push this replacement back up to a few years. Call us if you’re not sure what stage your drive is at or if you’d like a quote.
