Brick Pointing

Brick Pointing also known as tuckpointing and re-pointing is the process of filling or renewing the parts of the mortar joints. Over a period of years, weather and decay will cause the joints between masonry or bricks to allow water in which can cause significant damage through frost and salt deposits. Re-pointing is the best method to rectify this problem.

Brickwork

Brick facing is one of the most durable ways to shield the outside of a house or building from weathering, and can be considered as an art form. When the proper material and craftsmanship is used, brick work can create a breath taking appearance.

Lintel Replacment

Often, lintel support is insufficient; whether this is due to general deterioration of the building over time due to settlement and movement, or that the flashing was incorrectly installed or even worse never installed. The steel lintels will eventually start to rust, corrode and deteriorate.

Restoration

The main objective of masonry rebuilding is to repair or replace damaged masonry units while restoring the area to a color and quality that appears original to the building. Masonry rebuilding is most often required when there is significant corrosion of the structural steel or when severe deterioration is present – water infiltration being the primary cause of each.
