Local Work : Brickwork & Repairs Not So Local Work : |
 |
As you can see, one of the shed corner walls had given up. It was broken up by the ivy that had grown through the brickwork and had loosened beyond the point of recovery. |
|
Having stripped it back as above, any bricks saved were re-used and others cut to fit, including matching up the original chamfered corners. Here you see the finished repair. |

The garden gate was looking decidedly sorry, so we took it off and started in. |

Once it was sanded back and filled as needed, undercoated and 2 top coats of gloss, it looked like this. Then the surrounding brickwork was made good. |

The customer had a bad damp problem with this wall, so it was stripped and left to dry out. We had already trenched down the outside of the wall and injected a new damp course. The whole wall was then coated with a liquid damp proof membrane for a full 1.5 metres up the brickwork, then backfill to the trench with large stone for fast drainage. The nearest shelf has also come down, repaired and will go back under the other one. Below are more images after the injection process had been done by ourselves. The wall will be re-rendered and then re-plastered. It is still drying out but new images will be added at job finished.

After a lot of making and doing, some re-pointing, painting and sorting, it now looks like this |
