Brickwork Repair Services

Trident Facades provides brickwork repair services for localised defects affecting masonry façades. Repairs can restore damaged brickwork, pointing and joints without the need for more extensive façade remediation where the underlying construction remains suitable for repair.

Our approach is based on identifying the cause and extent of the defect before determining the appropriate repair method.

When Is Brickwork Repair Required?

Targeted brickwork repair may be appropriate where defects are localised and the wider wall construction remains sound.

Common issues include:

Deteriorated or eroded mortar joints
Cracked, spalled or damaged bricks
Localised impact or weathering damage
Localised staining or efflorescence
Failed or missing pointing
Defective movement joints
Minor cracking where there is no evidence of ongoing structural movement

Where defects indicate structural movement, wall tie failure, widespread deterioration or problems within the wider façade construction, further investigation may be required before repair works are specified.

Our Brickwork Repair Service

Façade condition assessment – Assessing the affected brickwork to establish the location, extent and likely cause of the defect.

Targeted investigation – Where required, undertaking localised investigation to determine whether defects extend beyond the visible brickwork.
Brick replacement – Carefully removing and replacing cracked, spalled, damaged or deteriorated bricks with suitable matching materials where possible.
Repointing – Removing defective mortar and reinstating joints using a mortar appropriate to the existing brickwork and construction.
Movement joint repairs – Repairing defective or failed movement joints and associated interfaces where required.
Crack repairs – Addressing suitable localised cracking where investigation indicates that repair is appropriate.
Mortar and brick matching – Matching brick type, colour, texture, mortar composition and joint profile as closely as practicable.
Weatherproofing and interfaces – Repairing localised areas around openings, junctions and other interfaces where defective detailing is contributing to water ingress.
Making good and completion – Completing repaired areas, removing debris and carrying out final checks following the works.

Repairing Existing Brickwork

The appropriate repair method depends on the construction, condition and cause of the defect.

Repairs may involve individual brick replacement, localised repointing, movement joint repairs or a combination of techniques. Where defects extend into the backing construction, insulation, cavity or structural elements, more extensive investigation or remediation may be required.

Brickwork Repair As Part Of Façade Remediation

Brickwork repairs can be delivered as a standalone service or as part of a wider façade remediation project.

Where required, our dedicated survey team, Trident Facades Surveys, can undertake condition surveys and targeted opening-up to establish the existing construction before repair works are specified.
