Our process
How we approach the job
Survey & diagnosis
We trace the source of water ingress - not just the symptom - and identify all weak points.
Repair weak points
Copings rebedded, flashings replaced, cracked mortar raked out and repointed.
Breathable protection
We use lime and suitable modern materials that let the wall breathe while keeping rain out.
Test & guarantee
Work inspected during and after rain where possible - we don't leave until the detail is right.
FAQ
Weatherproofing - your questions
Rarely. Most brick walls should breathe. We fix the detailing that keeps rain out rather than sealing the surface with potentially damaging coatings.
