Brick Repair & Maintenance

Brick Wall Crack Repair

Brickwork needs repair & maintenance. It may need to be restored or replaced due to fretting, bowed or loose brickwork. The first signs are cracks on the outside of the brickwork which mean you require brick-and-mortar repairs. As part of our brick maintenance service, we replace fretted or eroded bricks with matching bricks to repair the damaged areas and restore the brickwork to its natural beauty.

Brick bulging or bowed brickwork is usually caused by either, rusted wall ties, rusted arch bars or very low cement content in the mortar mix. We tailor a brick-repair or mortar repair solution to address almost any brickwork problem. Our team of skilled masons has years of experience in repairing and maintaining brickwork for residential, commercial, and historic buildings.

Our brick repair services include fixing cracks, chips, and other types of damage that can occur over time. We use high-quality materials and techniques to ensure that the repair work blends seamlessly with the existing brickwork, creating a durable and long-lasting repair.

Brick Repair & Maintenance Melbourne

Brick wall repair can be a complex process that requires specialized skills and tools. Here is a general overview of our brick wall repair process:

Assessment: We will first assess the damage to the brick wall to determine the extent of repair needed. We will look for signs of damage, such as cracks, chips, or loose bricks, and identify areas that need attention.

Preparation: Before repairing the brick wall, we will prepare the area by cleaning the brickwork to remove any dirt, debris, or loose mortar. This is done to ensure that the repair materials will adhere properly to the bricks.

Repair Materials: Depending on the extent of the damage, we use a variety of materials to repair the brick wall. These can include mortar, brick, or a combination of both.

Mortar Repair: Mortar Repair: If the damage is primarily to the mortar joints between the bricks, we will carefully remove the old, deteriorated mortar and replace it with fresh mortar. The new mortar will match the original mortar in colour, texture, and composition to ensure a seamless repair.

Brick Replacement: If there are damaged or missing bricks, we will carefully remove them and replace them with new bricks that match the existing brickwork in colour and size. The new bricks should be securely anchored in place to ensure they do not become loose over time.

Finishing: Once the repair work is complete, we will brush away any excess mortar and clean the surface of the bricks to remove any remaining debris or stains.

Drying: The new mortar and bricks will need time to dry and cure properly. This process can take several days or longer, depending on the weather and humidity.
