Tuckpointing
Over a period of time, weathering causes the mortar between bricks to deteriorate. As a result, holes appear and allow moisture, cold and insects to penetrate the wall. If left unattended, the bricks around the deteriorated mortar will eventually begin to crumble. We remove the loose and damaged mortar (scrapping or grinding), replacing it with new, carefully dyed material to produce the best possible colour match with the remaining mortar for a seamless repair.
Brick replacement
Eventually over time, bricks on the walls of the house can begin to crumble or spall. This is also true for chimneys, window sills and free-standing brick walls. Bricks adjacent to affected brick will begin to show wear as well. This means damaged bricks should be replaced as soon as possible. This involves careful removal of the damaged units and installation of new ones matching the colour and texture of the original brick as closely as possible.
