Case study of pebbledash removal, brick replacement, brick cleaning and lime mortar repointing restoration in Charlton, London.
Property in Charlton before pebbledash removal restoration.
During restoration: Partially removed pebbledash
After: Pebbledash removal and lime mortar flush repointing.
Job Specification
Before we start removing pebbledash, we performed a full job specification. The sample revealed that the facade was plastered with two coats of pebbledash and large number of bricks were severely damaged by erosion.
Pebbledash Removal
We have removed the pebbledash gently to prevent any additional damage to the bricks.
Brickwork Restoration
We have used red and yellow stock handmade, matching size and colour bricks to replace any eroded bricks.
Brick Pointing Samples
To make it easier for the client to decide which type of pointing he would like to have, we have made samples of lime mortar flush, weather struck and tinted penny roll pointing.
Flush Type Brick Pointing
The client chose flush type pointing. What distinguishes this type of pointing is that it will give an old, rough look.
