Masonry Repair

Tuckpointing and brick restoration are essential maintenance tasks for several reasons:

• Structural Integrity: Damaged bricks and eroded mortar can lead to significant structural issues over time. Water can seep into cracks, causing further deterioration and potential safety hazards.
• Preventing Non-linear Decay: Small problems can quickly escalate if not addressed promptly. Repairing bricks and mortar early can prevent more extensive and costly repairs in the future.
• Aesthetic Appeal: Maintaining the appearance of your brickwork enhances the overall look of your property and can increase its value.

• Structural Inspection: Conducting a thorough inspection to identify any underlying structural issues that need to be addressed.
