The process of removing dirt, debris, Mold and other contaminants from the masonry surface to evaluate the damaged areas correctly. The techniques put in place for cleaning are, the use of DOFF cleaning system and TORC system both ideal for this job.

Assessment

This involves evaluating the condition of the masonry to identify areas of damage, including cracks, spalling, erosion or displacement of stones or bricks. After the masonry defects have been identified we can create a customised plan for the repairs or restoration needed, ensuring works are done accurately, prioritising quality to guarantee overall satisfaction.

Masonry repairs can include

Repairing cracks and spalling

These works include filling in cracks, repairing spalled areas, and addressing any surface damage using appropriate materials such as mortar, epoxy resin, or specialised masonry fillers.

At Stone & Masonry Repairs Ltd we only use the best materials for the job, ensuring the repairs and restoration works done are unnoticeable, seamlessly blending with the natural elements while warranting the robust structural integrity of the building or structure for years to come.

Damaged masonry replacement

The replacement work involves removing individual bricks, stone, concrete blocks and other masonry materials that are severely damaged beyond repair, ensuring sufficient alignment and structural integrity.

If damaged masonry is left alone structural integrity will be jeopardised. If not done correctly, masonry can quickly deteriorate and pose a safety risk underlining just how important these works can be.

Repointing

This procedure comprises of repairing or replacing deteriorated mortar joints between masonry units to prevent water infiltration, maintain stability and enhance the appearance of the building or structure.

Masonry stabilisation

The process of strengthening weakened or deteriorated areas of masonry through techniques such as grouting, stitching or adding reinforcement to avoid further deterioration or collapse.

Waterproofing and sealing

The treatment of applying waterproofing coatings or sealants to shield the masonry from moisture penetration, freeze-thaw cycles and other environmental factors that can cause damage to the building or structure over time.

Colour matching

The process that ensures any repairs or replacements blend flawlessly with the existing masonry to maintain a uniform appearance.

Colour and texture matching is a very important stage in the restoration journey and at Stone and Masonry Repairs Ltd we expertly colour and texture match our repairs to get the best possible finish for maximum satisfaction.

Structural reinforcement

These works introduce the installation of anchors, ties, lintel replacements/restoration, or other reinforcement systems to improve the strength and load-bearing capacity of the masonry structure, particularly in areas prone to movement or stress.

Final touches

Masonry repairs are applied with finishing treatments such as polishing, sanding, or painting to restore the aesthetic appeal of the required masonry and achieve a desired appearance.

Overall, masonry repair work aims to prolong the life of masonry buildings and structures, prevent further deterioration, and maintain their structural integrity and visual appeal for years to come.
