The work

Brickwork for Kingston homes

Kingston is a short run for us, so a look at a brickwork job here is a visit rather than a day of travel priced into the quote. We work across KT1 and out into Surbiton, New Malden, Norbiton, Hampton Wick.

Good brickwork is invisible. Get the brick, the bond and the mortar right and a rebuilt section disappears into the elevation. Get them wrong and a patch of modern red brick in a lime-mortared London stock wall is the first thing anyone sees.

We take on new brickwork, rebuilds where a wall has bulged or cracked, and repairs to spalled and frost-damaged brick. That covers garden and boundary walls, piers, gables, arches over openings and the reveals around new windows and doors.

What's included

What brickwork covers

  • Brick matching

    Sourced to match the existing brick in colour, texture and size as closely as it is made.

  • Mortar matching

    Mix and colour matched, and lime rather than cement where the wall needs to breathe.

  • Rebuilds

    Cracked, bulging or leaning sections taken down and rebuilt on sound foundations.

  • Brick replacement

    Spalled and frost-blown bricks cut out individually and replaced.

  • Arches and lintels

    Failed arches supported and rebuilt, and lintels replaced where they have rusted or sagged.

  • Piers and copings

    Gate piers, capping and coping renewed so the top of the wall sheds water.

The process

How a brickwork job runs in Kingston

  1. Step 01

    Look at the wall

    We work out whether the crack is movement, a failed lintel or just weathering, because the fix differs.

  2. Step 02

    Match materials

    Brick and mortar options shown to you before anything is ordered.

  3. Step 03

    Support and rebuild

    Openings needled and propped where required, then rebuilt in the correct bond.

  4. Step 04

    Point and clean down

    Joints finished to match, brickwork cleaned off, and the site cleared.

The price

Brickwork costs

What brickwork costs comes down to what you actually have, not a price list. Two jobs that sound identical can be an hour of work or a week of it, which is why we do not price roofing over the phone. We come and look, then put a figure in writing.

Questions

Brickwork in Kingston: common questions

Still not sure? Ring and ask. It is usually quicker than typing it out, and you will speak to the person who would do the work.

020 3128 7540info@tjmhomeimprovements.co.uk

Can you match my bricks exactly?

Often very closely, and on a weathered wall reclaimed brick usually beats new. Some Victorian bricks are no longer made in that size or colour, so we will show you the nearest options before starting.

There is a crack above my window. Is that serious?

It is often a failed lintel or a rusted steel spreading as it corrodes, which is repairable brickwork. If the crack pattern suggests actual structural movement we will say so and recommend a structural engineer rather than guess.

Do you build garden walls?

Yes, including boundary walls, retaining walls, piers and copings. Foundations and coping detail are what make a garden wall last, so both go into the quote.

How long does new brickwork take to dry out?

Mortar is set within days but a new wall carries construction moisture for weeks. Avoid painting or sealing new brickwork straight away, because trapping that moisture in is what causes early problems.

Can you lay bricks in winter?

Bricklaying stops below about three degrees, because mortar will not gain strength and frost damages it as it sets. We will tell you if a cold spell is moving your dates rather than lay it and hope.
