Brickwork & masonry in Blackpool & the Fylde

Need brickwork repairs, repointing or tuckpointing in Blackpool & the Fylde? We repair and restore masonry — matched to the original so repairs disappear into the wall.

Blackpool's tall Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them former guest houses, are full of structural work: guest-house layouts opened back into family homes, new openings in party walls, and chimney breasts out over several floors.

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

Blackpool falls under Blackpool Council building control; Lytham St Annes under Fylde Council; or a registered building control approver.

Brickwork & masonry in Blackpool & the Fylde: your questions answered

Do you cover Blackpool & the Fylde?

Yes — Blackpool & the Fylde and the surrounding area are part of our regular patch. Blackpool falls under Blackpool Council building control; Lytham St Annes under Fylde Council; 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.
