General Building & Brickwork in Chalfont St Giles

From repointing and brick repairs to wider building work, we look after the masonry that keeps a property sound. Failed mortar allows moisture into brickwork and can accelerate deterioration, so we rake out and repoint using a mix appropriate to the building's age and construction, including breathable lime mortar for older properties that need walls to release moisture. We cover Chalfont St Giles (HP8) and the nearby Buckinghamshire area.

FAQs

General Building & Brickwork in Chalfont St Giles — common questions

Why does old mortar need lime, not cement?

Older, solid-wall homes are built to breathe. A hard cement mortar traps moisture in the wall and pushes damp inward and into the bricks, which then spall. A soft lime mortar lets the wall dry out, which is why we match the mix to the property.

How do I know if my house needs repointing?

Crumbling, cracked or recessed joints, mortar you can rake out with a key, and damp patches on inside walls are the usual signs. We inspect it and advise honestly.

Can you match the existing brick and mortar colour?

Yes, we match the mortar colour and any replacement bricks as closely as possible so the repair blends in.

Do you rebuild garden walls?

Yes, we repair and rebuild garden and boundary walls as well as house brickwork.

Do you cover Chalfont St Giles?

Yes. We carry out general building & brickwork throughout Chalfont St Giles (HP8) and the surrounding Buckinghamshire area, including Jordans, Maple Cross, Chorleywood and Ruislip Common.
