Brickwork & masonry in Ashton-under-Lyne & Tameside
Need brickwork repairs, repointing or tuckpointing in Ashton-under-Lyne & Tameside? We repair and restore masonry — matched to the original so repairs disappear into the wall.
Tameside's Victorian terraces and stone cottages in Ashton, Stalybridge, Mossley and Hyde, and the 1930s semis in Denton and Audenshaw, all bring knock-throughs and chimney-breast removals, with stone walls on the Pennine edge that are thicker than they look.
Beyond the structural work, we carry out general brickwork repairs and maintenance: cracked brickwork repaired and stitched, mortar joints repointed to match the original, brick faces replaced where spalled or frost-damaged, and tuckpointing on rendered or painted brick.
What’s included
- Brick and block repairs — cracked, spalled or damaged masonry cut out and replaced
- Repointing to match the original mortar colour and joint style
- Tuckpointing on rendered or painted brick facades
- Crack stitching with helical bars where appropriate
- Brick matching — reclaimed or modern matches sourced to suit
- Full-elevation repointing and facade repairs
- Lime mortar repairs on period properties
Ashton-under-Lyne and the rest of Tameside fall under Tameside Council building control, or a registered building control approver.
Brickwork & masonry in Ashton-under-Lyne & Tameside: your questions answered
Do you cover Ashton-under-Lyne & Tameside?
Yes — Ashton-under-Lyne & Tameside and the surrounding area are part of our regular patch. Ashton-under-Lyne and the rest of Tameside fall under Tameside Council building control, or a registered building control approver.
Can you match old bricks?
Nearly always. We source reclaimed bricks or close modern matches, and match the mortar colour and joint style, so the repair disappears into the wall.
What is tuckpointing?
Tuckpointing sharpens up rendered or painted brick by cutting a thin line along the mortar beds and filling it with a contrasting mortar to make the joints stand out.
Do you repoint listed buildings?
Yes. Listed buildings need careful repointing in lime mortar to match the original. We work with local planning where needed and use traditional methods and materials.
