Brickwork in Putney
Putney's Victorian and Edwardian terraces and riverside mansion blocks were built largely in London stock brick that darkens and erodes with age and traffic pollution. Typical jobs here are front-elevation repointing, DOFF cleaning to lift a century of soiling, and paint removal on frontages painted in past decades. Richmond Repointing repoints in breathable lime or colour-matched mortar and cleans back to original brick, protecting the soft stock from the damage aggressive methods cause.
Clay soil and movement cracks in Putney
Clay beneath parts of Putney can shrink as it dries and swell as moisture returns. That seasonal change can contribute to building movement and cracks in brickwork, including cracks above window arches running towards a window sill. The cause needs assessing at the property - not every crack is clay-related, and widening or recurring cracks may need a structural engineer's advice before repairs are specified.
Repairing cracked arches with matching brickwork
On a recent Putney job, the client called and sent photographs of two cracks above a window arch. We booked the work for the following month, stitched the cracked brickwork with helical bars, replaced damaged bricks with Old London stocks to match the existing wall, and repointed both repairs. Where appropriate, crack stitching and carefully matched repointing restore the brickwork without losing the character of the original facade. Repointing alone does not resolve ongoing ground movement.
