1. Inspection and Assessment

The first step in any restoration project is a thorough inspection. We assess the condition of the brick, mortar, stonework, and surrounding areas. We identify problem spots and determine what needs repair or replacement. This is a critical step in ensuring the work is done efficiently and with historical accuracy.

2. Repointing and Mortar Repair

One of the most common issues with historic masonry is deteriorating mortar. Over time, mortar can crack, crumble, and wash away, leaving gaps that allow moisture to enter the structure. Our team uses specialized tools and techniques to carefully repoint the mortar, ensuring the building remains watertight and structurally sound. We also match the new mortar with the original to maintain the building’s authenticity.

3. Brick and Stone Repair

Whether it’s repairing cracked brickwork or restoring eroded stone facades, we focus on repairing existing materials rather than replacing them whenever possible. We source materials that closely match the original, ensuring the restoration looks seamless and authentic.

4. Preserving Architectural Features

Historic homes often feature unique architectural details, such as intricate stonework, decorative brick patterns, or custom masonry features. We work to preserve these original elements, carefully restoring them to their former glory. This helps maintain the historical character of the home while ensuring its long-term stability.
