Forest Gate is home to some of East London’s most characterful brick properties. From Victorian terraces to early 20th-century family homes, the brickwork in this area gives the streets their charm and identity. But brickwork doesn’t last forever without care.

Brick restoration is more than just cleaning a wall. It involves carefully assessing the condition of the brickwork and carrying out the appropriate services to restore its strength, appearance and long-term durability.
Every property in Forest Gate is different, and restoration work must be tailored accordingly.
Many homes in Forest Gate were built using traditional London stock bricks and lime mortar. These materials are durable but require maintenance over time.
Often, brick restoration involves a combination of these services for the best results.
Mortar naturally wears down over time. We carefully remove deteriorated mortar and replace it with new, colour-matched mortar — often lime-based for older properties — to protect the structure and restore appearance.
Pollution and weathering can darken brickwork. Using safe, controlled methods, we clean brick surfaces without causing damage.
Painted brick can trap moisture and hide underlying issues. We remove masonry paint carefully to restore breathability and original character.
Many properties were covered in pebbledash during past renovations. We remove it carefully and restore the brick beneath.
Forest Gate has a strong architectural identity. Poorly executed restoration can damage both the appearance and integrity of a property.
Our aim is always to restore, not over-modernise.
One of the most common problems we see in East London is the use of incorrect cement mortar on older brickwork.
For many Forest Gate properties, breathable lime mortar is essential.
With over three decades of experience, we know how to match mortar correctly to your home’s age and condition.
