Brick & stone

Laid by hand, pointed to last

From
How long
Depends on the job: a mailbox in a day, a wall in a week

Our masons lay brick and stone by hand: walls, steps, columns at a gate, a mailbox, the veneer on a porch. We pick the stone with you at the yard, from the limestone that’s quarried a few miles away, so new work looks at home here.

Repointing is half of our masonry work. Old mortar crumbles and lets water in; we rake the joints out by hand, never with a grinder that chips the stone, and fill them with mortar matched in colour and strength to what was there.

Questions

Can you match my old brick?

Usually; we bring samples and lay a test panel before we build.

Why repoint?

Crumbling mortar lets water into the wall. New mortar, matched to the old, keeps it out for decades.
