At BARL, we’re passionate about preserving the character and craftsmanship of historic buildings. Our latest project involved a full brickwork restoration combined with traditional heritage lime repointing, breathing new life into an aging façade while maintaining its original charm.
Full Brickwork Restoration with Attention to Detail
This project began with a detailed inspection to identify damaged bricks, eroded mortar, and structural wear. Our team carefully removed and replaced damaged bricks using matching materials to ensure consistency in appearance and performance. The goal? Restore the wall’s structural integrity without compromising its heritage look.
Traditional Heritage Lime Repointing
Rather than using modern cement, we used lime mortar repointing, which is essential for older buildings. Lime mortar allows the brickwork to breathe and move naturally, preventing long-term damage from trapped moisture. Our skilled craftsmen carefully applied the heritage repointing by hand, using traditional techniques to maintain authenticity and durability.
Why Lime Mortar and Brickwork Restoration Matter
- Preserves the original character of the building
- Allows for natural breathability and moisture control
- Prevents cracking and erosion over time
- Ideal for conservation and listed properties
