Heritage Brick Restoration

Historic brickwork is a living record of a building's past. We specialize in the sensitive repair and replacement of period masonry, using traditional lime-based mortars and color-matched heritage bricks to ensure every restoration is structurally sound and visually seamless.

The Art of the Match

Success in heritage repair is measured by invisibility. We meticulously analyze the original clay composition and mortar binders to ensure our interventions are indistinguishable from the historical fabric of your property.

Biological Cleaning:

Gentle, non-chemical removal of ivy, moss, and atmospheric pollutants.
