Masonry with brick

Masonry with Brick

Brick masonry is one of the most reliable ways to build and upgrade homes and commercial spaces. It delivers strength, fire resistance, and a timeless look that suits both modern and traditional architecture. Whether you need a new wall, repairs to weathered brickwork, or a decorative feature, our team provides careful craftsmanship and clean, durable results.

What We Build and Repair

We provide brick masonry services for renovations, extensions, and new builds. Every project starts with a site visit to check existing structures, moisture exposure, and the best matching brick and mortar type. We then plan the layout and bonding pattern to ensure the work is stable, aligned, and visually consistent.

• External and internal brick walls for extensions, garden structures, garages, and outbuildings
• Brick cladding and facades to refresh the appearance of a building and add protection
• Repair and restoration for cracked joints, loose bricks, impact damage, and worn surfaces
• Repointing to renew mortar joints, improve weather resistance, and stop water ingress
• Openings and alterations including bricking up old doors and windows or forming new ones
• Decorative brickwork such as feature walls, brick piers, and custom patterns

If your project includes structural changes, we can coordinate brickwork alongside related construction of walls and ceilings so the finished spaces are properly supported and ready for the next stages.

Quality Materials and Proper Technique

Brick selection and matching

Getting the right brick matters for both performance and appearance. We help you choose bricks suited to the location, for example frost resistant bricks for exposed areas, or matching units for older buildings where consistency is critical. For repairs, we aim to source close matches in size, tone, and texture so the restored area blends naturally.

Mortar choice and joint finishing

Mortar is not just filler. The correct mix protects the masonry and allows the wall to breathe. We select mortar strength and composition based on the age of the building, the type of brick, and the exposure to weather. Joints can be finished in different styles to suit the look you want, while still ensuring good water shedding and long term durability.

Alignment, stability, and load support

Good brickwork looks straight and performs safely. We use accurate setting out, levels, and lines to keep courses even and corners true. For load bearing work, we follow proper bonding, use lintels where required, and build with attention to ties, supports, and movement joints. When a project involves a wider layout change, we can align it with structural wall installation and adjacent elements for a cohesive result.

Our Brick Masonry Process

Clear steps keep the project tidy, predictable, and on schedule. We explain options upfront, confirm materials, and protect surrounding finishes before work begins.

1. Assessment and quotation including measurements, access planning, and a discussion of finishes
2. Preparation such as safe removal of damaged brickwork, surface cleaning, and base setup
3. Construction or repair with controlled mortar application, consistent jointing, and regular checks
4. Curing and protection to help mortar set correctly, especially in cold or wet conditions
5. Final detailing and cleanup leaving the brickwork neat and the site ready for use

We also advise on practical add ons like damp control details, coping stones, and sealing where appropriate, depending on the wall location and exposure.

Where Brick Masonry Adds the Most Value

Brick is often chosen because it performs well for decades with minimal maintenance. It improves curb appeal, provides solid acoustic separation, and withstands daily wear in busy environments.

• Home improvements like extensions, porch walls, boundary walls, and feature brick interiors
• Commercial spaces where robust finishes are needed for entrances, stairwells, and public areas
• Renovations that require careful integration between old and new materials
• Moisture exposed areas where correct detailing helps prevent penetrating damp

If your brickwork is part of a wider interior upgrade, we can coordinate with wall and ceiling finishing so partitions, openings, and surfaces come together cleanly.
