• As time passes and your home is exposed to more
  and more different weather conditions, its
  inevitable that some wear and tear will start to
  show in the brickwork. Over the years, the bricks
  may appear faded, some crumbling might be
  visible, or the mortar may have begun to look
  weathered and is missing in places.
• Aside from the way that this makes your home look
  (think shabby and uncared for, eyesore etc.),
  even the smallest issue with the brickwork can
  lead to much bigger problems further down the
  line, if left unrepaired. For example, crumbling
  or missing mortar can easily encourage cracks to
  appear, and when they inevitably do start to
  show, water will begin entering them, expediting
  the deterioration process.

• However, if you schedule an an assessment with a
  masonry professional as soon as you spot any
  signs of damage and deterioration, you can get
  your brickwork back to its original condition and
  protect your home from the many problems that can
  occur when moisture starts to infiltrate
  brickwork.

• How do masonry professionals tackle damaged
  brickwork?
• When you start to notice that the joints of your
  brickwork are crumbling or already have gaps in

• Brickwork with failing mortar that isnt properly
  sealed, will almost certainly not be affording
  your home the protection it needs from the
  elements making it easy for moisture to
  penetrate the very structure of your home. When

  growing. Brick pointing helps to seal all areas
