Brickwork & masonry in Manchester
Need brickwork repairs, repointing or tuckpointing in Manchester? We repair and restore masonry — matched to the original so repairs disappear into the wall.
Our base is off Blackett Street in Ardwick, a mile from Piccadilly, so Manchester is home ground. The city's housing is mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis in Levenshulme, Longsight, Rusholme, Gorton, Moston and Blackley, villas in Whalley Range and Victoria Park, and 1930s semis in Burnage and Northenden, nearly all with a load-bearing spine wall between the front and back rooms.
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
Building Regulations applications in Manchester go to Manchester City Council building control, or to a registered building control approver.
Brickwork & masonry in Manchester: your questions answered
Do you cover Manchester?
Yes — Manchester and the surrounding area are part of our regular patch. Building Regulations applications in Manchester go to Manchester City Council building control, or to 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.
