Brick Cleaning Restoration
As the job required brick repointing as well, we had raked out old brick pointing. Next, we cleaned a brickwork using a steam cleaning technique.
Lime Mortar
When the brickwork was clean and ready for repointing we have used a lime mortar, which should be used in the repair and restoration of brickwork.
Flush Finish Pointing
From many available types of brick pointing, the client has chosen a flush pointing. What distinguishes this type of pointing is that it gives a rough “old look” appearance.
