Brick Laying in Shortlands
Founder-led brick laying in Shortlands, from Crest Building Services in Bexleyheath.
Crest Building Services provides brick laying across Shortlands and the neighbouring Greater London towns from our base in Bexleyheath. Being local means a deep familiarity with the brick types and building styles common in the area, so new work, repairs and repointing are matched sympathetically to the properties around them.
Shortlands is one of the many Greater London areas we serve, together with neighbouring Shooters Hill and Silvertown, all within comfortable reach of our Bexleyheath base.
Why Consider Brick Laying in Shortlands?
A previous repair or extension used the wrong brick, bond or mortar and now looks visibly out of place against the original wall.
A new build or outbuilding needs structural masonry laid to a consistent standard from foundation level upward.
The pointing on an older wall has crumbled or washed out, leaving open mortar joints that let water into the brickwork.
Bricks are cracked, spalling or showing signs of movement, and the damage looks like it is spreading rather than settling.
You want a garden or boundary wall built properly, with foundations suited to its height rather than a wall that leans over time.
What Brick Laying in Shortlands Involves
Garden and boundary walls are built to the same structural standard as the load-bearing brickwork we use on extensions, including proper foundations suited to the wall's height and location. Where existing brickwork is damaged, we assess the cause of cracking or movement before carrying out the repair to avoid recurring issues.
Once the walls are up, the pointing is finished and the brickwork checked for line, level and weatherproofing before the job is signed off. Correct mortar mix, consistent pointing and appropriate damp proof course installation are all built into the work rather than treated as optional finishing touches.
Sound brickwork protects a property from the damp and structural problems that reduce its value over time, so it is worth getting right the first time. To discuss brick laying for your Shortlands property, contact Crest Building Services for a consultation and a clear quote before any work begins.
