Brickwork Contractors in Bromley
Brickwork in Bromley — London Borough of Bromley
Brickwork across the Bromley borough spans Victorian stock brick near the town centre, interwar red facings in the suburbs and modern estate brick further out — three different matching problems requiring three different approaches.
Looking for a new garden or boundary wall rather than brickwork repairs? That is a different job with its own footings and coping details — see brick walls in Bromley.
What matters for brickwork in Bromley
Matching interwar red facings
The 1930s housing that dominates much of the borough used facing bricks that are still obtainable in close matches. We source samples and lay a test area where the repair is prominent.
Repointing without damaging the wall
We rake out mechanically only where the brick can take it, otherwise by hand, and repoint in a mix appropriate to the wall — softer for older solid walls, not a hard cement fillet.
Piers, porches and making good
A lot of our brickwork here is finishing off other work: rebuilding a pier after a driveway, making good around new windows or forming a brick porch base.

Brickwork in Bromley — your questions
Can you repoint just one elevation?
Yes, and it is often the sensible approach — the weather-facing elevation usually fails first. The repointed elevation will look cleaner than the others until it weathers in, which we will show you on a sample area before committing.
