Repointing
Gable wall repointed
The mortar along this gable wall had weathered back from the bricks. We raked out the old joints and repointed the full length of the wall, finished off neat and even.

Brickwork in North Shields & Tynemouth
Where the Tyne meets the sea
North Shields and Tynemouth sit on the north bank at the mouth of the Tyne, and their brickwork gets the coast's weather head on. Wind-driven rain and salt air off the North Sea work at mortar joints, front walls and chimney stacks year after year, until water starts soaking into the brick instead of running off it.
The houses are mostly older: terraced streets and Tyneside flats in North Shields, and Victorian terraces and bigger period houses around Tynemouth. On brickwork like that, repointing and like-for-like repairs are often the first job, done with a mortar that suits the bricks rather than one that's harder than them. Much of Tynemouth is a conservation area, so if you're planning anything that changes how a wall or the front of the house looks, check with North Tyneside Council first.
We also rebuild front and yard walls, repair chimney stacks, build porches and extensions, and take on knock throughs when you want more room inside.
