A stunning transformation showcasing the impact of pebbledash removal and expert brick restoration.

Project

This period property had been concealed under layers of unsightly cement-based pebbledash, leaving it looking worn, unloved, and far from its best. Beneath it, however, was a beautiful façade waiting to be uncovered.

Our client requested a full, top-to-bottom restoration, and the final result speaks for itself—bringing out the property’s original charm while reinforcing its structural integrity. This project is a prime example of our master craftsmanship in brick restoration.

Scope of Works

• Pebbledash removal: Full removal of cement-based pebbledash and extensive brick reforming.
• Brick repairs: Over 400 brick repairs to restore the façade.
• Fracture reinforcement: Extensive Heli-Bar reinforcement work across various fractures, including the entire joint between the main building and bay brickwork.
• Bay sill restoration: Complete restoration of both first-floor and ground-floor bay sills.
• Insulation works: Foam injection into voids behind bay stonework, correcting gaps left by previous window installers.
• Joint repairs: Closing down of large perpend joints using colour-matched mortar.
• Brick Repointing: Full rake-out and repointing with a neat flush joint using our bespoke heritage fine lime putty mortar mix.
• Damp treatment: Damp injection works carried out across the elevation.
