A coach house with years of patch repairs, incompatible mortar and inconsistent pointing brought back to a breathable, considered finish.

Before
AfterThe challenge
This property had suffered from years of patch repairs using the wrong mortar and inconsistent pointing techniques.
The result was a brick facade that had gradually lost its character, with damaged joints, cracked bricks and a tired appearance.
The solution
Following a detailed survey, the specialist team carried out a full programme of remedial work to restore the brickwork using traditional materials and methods.
Failed and incompatible mortar was removed; the elevation was cleaned; original brickwork was refurbished in situ; then the property was repointed using Lime Mortar Conserv (Hawstone Gold) with a traditional brushed finish.
Outcome
The property has been restored to how it was intended to look, while allowing the brickwork to breathe correctly for years to come.
For properties that have been patched and repaired over time, the issue is often the previous material selection rather than the brickwork itself.
