Have you noticed damp spots on your walls? Do your walls need rendering, or a fresh coat of paint? At SGN Brickwork & Decorating Specialists, can offer complete wall restoration and repointing services, finished to the highest standard. We also provide chimney repointing which will extend the life of your building giving you peace of mind for years to come.

Lime repointing

Traditional houses will have been pointed using lime mortar and it is essential that they are not repointed using cement. Its use on traditional buildings will result in cracks and damage to the bricks. 
Lime mortar is a softer mortar and can endure movement that comes with changes in ground conditions due to settlement and weather conditions that can affect older properties and cause cracking. This is particularly prevalent in South London where many of the Victorian houses are built on clay. Lime mortar also allows moisture to evaporate to prevent damp in traditionally built houses.

With constant exposure to the elements, brickwork mortar eventually deteriorates and becomes loose. Our lime mortar repointing will restore your brickwork to its former glory. Regular builders often use the wrong type of mortar on old properties, meaning the repointing will have to be done again in just a few years, due to cracking. If you are undertaking any building work, be sure to use the correct materials for your age of property.

"Exterior paintwork for 4 storey house"

"I can highly recommend Shivram and SGN. SGN was quick and easy to deal with at all times and Shivram was extremely reliable and hard-working, delivering a high standard of work at a reasonable price. Additional brickwork was required, but he worked late and at weekends to make sure the job was completed in reasonable time."
