Brickwork Contractors in Petts Wood
Brickwork in Petts Wood — London Borough of Bromley
Petts Wood's 1930s housing has a strong, consistent brick character — and because the frontages are so uniform, a mismatched repair or a hard grey pointing job stands out badly.
What matters for brickwork in Petts Wood
Keeping the frontage consistent
We match brick colour, bond and joint profile to what is already there. On prominent elevations we will lay a small sample area first so you can approve it.
Gate piers and front walls
Original piers are a defining feature of these roads. Rebuilding a leaning pier on a new footing, reusing the original bricks and cap where possible, keeps the frontage intact.
Conservation area work
Where a property sits in the conservation area, check the position with Bromley Council before altering or removing front brickwork. We work to what is approved.

Brickwork in Petts Wood — your questions
Can original bricks be reused when rebuilding a pier?
Often, yes. If the bricks are sound we clean off the old mortar and relay them, topping up with matched reclaimed bricks for any that break. It gives a far better match than building entirely in new brick.
