Traditional brick and stone repair, done properly.
Sensitive repair of historic brick and stone fabric — matching materials, method and character to the original build.
Heritage repair is a discipline of restraint. Do enough to secure the fabric and no more. We work with the materials the wall was built with — lime, matched stone, matched brick — and finish the repair so it reads as part of the original building.
This applies equally to a cracked lintel, a lost cill, a section of failed brickwork or a full elevation. The principle is the same: understand it first, then repair it in kind.
- Failed brick or stone that has moved, cracked or been lost.
- Previous repairs in incompatible modern materials.
- Lintels, cills, quoins or arches showing structural distress.
- Historic detail eroded, damaged or partially removed.
- Matched materials — brick, stone, lime — not modern substitutes.
- Method chosen to protect surrounding original fabric.
- Fair, honest advice on what is worth repairing and what is not.
- Finishes that sit quietly within the building.
Frequently asked.
Can you match old brick?+
In most cases yes — either through reclamation, sympathetic sourcing, or careful selection of a matching modern brick.
Do you work with conservation officers?+
Regularly. We can integrate into an existing project team or advise independently on protected structures.
Is this different from stonework?+
It overlaps. Heritage Repairs covers the wider fabric — brick, timber lintels, mixed fabric — where Stonework is stone-specific.
