🔨 Brickwork repair & drainage improvement completed ✅
This job started with a section of brick wall where the old pointing had completely failed. The weak and perished mortar left the wall vulnerable to water pe*******on, frost damage, and general weathering — all of which can shorten the life of the structure.
We carefully raked out all of the old, crumbling mortar joints before rekey-pointing the wall using a strong, standard mortar mix. This not only restores the wall’s strength but also gives it much better protection against the elements while freshening up the overall look.
Alongside this, we carried out important preventative work at the side of the property. A soakaway was installed to improve water drainage and direct rainwater safely away from the building. This step reduces the risk of damp issues inside the home and helps prevent long-term structural damage caused by excess water pooling near the foundations.
A combination of repairs and preventative work — leaving the wall solid, weatherproof, and the property better protected for years to come.
