Repointing & RenderingSpecialists ServingBromley

Bromley is a short drive west of our Welling base and inside the area we cover every week, across the borough's residential streets and out towards Orpington, Chislehurst and Sidcup.

The work here is quality-led: new pointing that reads as part of the wall and render repairs that are indistinguishable from the original surface. We take on period and conservation-area property, but not listed buildings.

Bromley has a large and well-preserved body of Victorian and Edwardian housing: bay-fronted terraces, substantial semis and detached villas, much of it solid wall or early cavity construction in soft stock brick with lime mortar and decorative brick detailing.

That detailing matters. Gauged arches, string courses, corbelling and moulded brick features are common here, and they need a finer joint and a more careful hand than plain stretcher-bond walling. Repointing them wrongly is visible from across the road forever.

Alongside it are inter-war and post-war suburban houses, many with rendered or dashed elevations, and newer development where modern render systems dominate.

Careful repointing of period frontages is our most requested Bromley work, joints raked back by hand where the brick arrises are fragile, mortar colour and sand matched, and the original joint profile reinstated rather than replaced with a generic finish.

Second is undoing previous cement repointing on Victorian and Edwardian brickwork, together with cutting out and replacing the bricks whose faces have already gone.

Third is render work on the suburban stock: crack remediation on large frontages, and full strip-and-replace where the original coat has lost its bond.
