Brickwork is incredibly durable, but that doesn't mean it's completely immune to damage.

Why might you seek brick repair services?

Hiring a local brick repair specialist to tackle cracked, aged, or damaged bricks can help prevent the issue from worsening and potentially becoming a more costly structural issue.

• Ageing and worn bricks: Replacing or restoring them can help maintain the structural integrity of your home and improve its appearance

• Chipped, cracked, or lime-blown bricks: Temperature fluctuations, shifting foundations, moisture, or general ageing and wear can all cause bricks to become damaged

• Loose or flaking mortar: Brick repair experts also restore damage to mortar, blending the new with the old

• Damage from damp: Once the damp is remedied, a brick repair specialist can help restore your brickwork

• Garden brick structures: Brick-built garden walls, planters, or other structures can weather over time - repairs ensure they remain sturdy and visually appealing

You may also look to a brick repair specialist for colour matching, brick tinting, brick stitching, replacement, cleaning, or graffiti removal.

What to look for in a brick repair specialist

A brick repair specialist is different from a bricklayer. When searching for the right tradesperson for the job, here are some factors to keep in mind.

• Experience and expertise: Look for specific experience in repairing and restoring the type of brickwork you need help with

• Reputation and customer reviews: Check out online reviews and look for case studies or 'before & after' photos showing examples of previous work

• Quality materials: A repaired brick should last as long as the brick and have a seamless finish - ask what materials are needed for this

Additional factors to consider

• Insurance and guarantees: For something as critical as structural integrity especially, check that your brick repair company has valid public liability insurance and ask what guarantees they offer

• Pricing: Finally, pricing. Get a selection of quotes from local tradess to ensure you receive a fair and competitive price for the work

Can damaged bricks be repaired without replacing them?

This largely depends on the extent of the damage. Minor cracks and surface damage can often be repaired using fillers, resins, or mortar matching. However, where there's severe damage, replacement is usually best.

How long does brick repair take?

Again, this depends on the scope of the work, the extent of the damage, and the type of repair needed.

A small brick repair job might take just a few hours, but larger repairs could take several days or weeks.

Does brick repair improve property value?

Well-maintained brickwork improves the appearance of a property but also helps to ensure its structural integrity. To that end, brick repair work can positively impact property value.
