Brickwork

Repairing brickwork is a vital aspect of restoring the integrity and character of an older property, especially where any improvements need to be in keeping with the existing style and character of the building.

Water penetration, freezing or even extreme heat can all cause damage to bricks – common issues include cracked brickwork or crumbling (spalling) bricks where the surface may fall away completely. Not only does this spoil the appearance of the property – if left untreated, such problems can result in more severe, structural problems within the building.

The Essex Group Ltd is able to provide a range of sympathetic treatments to restore walls and brick features to their former glory. Our experienced team, equipped with professional tools is able to replace damaged bricks, maintaining the structural integrity of the wall and without affecting surrounding brickwork.

Matching existing brickwork is a key aspect of any repair project. We can source heritage or reclaimed bricks to ensure that any restoration work is as seamless as possible. The Essex Group Ltd is also highly experienced in blending bricks to give the best possible visual result.

In addition, The Essex Group Ltd can apply specialist coatings to help protect your brickwork from moisture and weathering.

A brick wall is only as good as the mortar that holds it together. Damaged or crumbling joints not only look untidy, they can result in water ingress or even structural problems if left untreated.

Well-pointed walls contribute to raising the value and saleability of a property as well as helping to keep it weatherproof. The Essex Group Ltd provides professional repointing services for domestic or commercial properties with all work guaranteed.

Our fully qualified, experienced team uses modern techniques and the best tools and materials to repoint areas of any size. The Essex Group Ltd’s repointing work is fast, efficient and to the highest quality whilst the results are strong, lasting and enhance the appearance of the building.
