Brickwork jobs, before and after

Real jobs by Callum and Kieran, with the photos taken on site. From repointing and wall rebuilds to porches and concrete bases.

Porches & extensions

New front porch

A new porch on the front of the house. We built the corner pier in a multi-tone brick to blend in with the existing house, laid the blockwork behind it and brought it up to meet the roof.

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.

This front garden wall had collapsed. We took down what was left of it and rebuilt it.

Brick and block footings built up around the edge, a damp-proof membrane laid, then a level concrete slab poured, ready for the building to go on top.
