Brickwork Repairs
Brickwork that improves the look of your home
Brickwork plays an important role in the appearance, strength and condition of your home. When mortar starts to fail, walls become damaged or chimneys need attention, it is important to deal with the issue before it gets worse.
Good brickwork is not just about how the finished surface looks. The repair method, preparation and materials all affect how well the work performs over time.
Forthcoming Group provides brickwork services across Sunderland and the North East, helping homeowners with repairs, repointing, walls, chimney bracing and colour render.
Before any work begins, we look at the condition of the existing brickwork, identify what needs attention and explain the most suitable way to complete the work.

Brickwork Advice
Choosing the right repair for the problem
The right brickwork solution depends on what has caused the issue and how much of the structure is affected. Some areas may only need repointing, while others may require repair, rebuilding, bracing or rendering.
Repointing can help restore failing mortar and reduce the risk of water getting into the brickwork. Wall repairs can improve damaged or unstable areas, while chimney bracing may be required where extra support is needed.
Colour render can also improve the appearance of tired or uneven surfaces, giving the property a cleaner and more consistent finish where suitable.
We explain the options clearly so you understand what is needed before any work begins.
What Sets Us Apart
Why choose Forthcoming Group
The correct repair method
We assess the condition of the brickwork before recommending the most suitable repair, repointing, bracing or rendering option.
Respect for the existing property
Where possible, we consider the surrounding brickwork, finish and appearance so the completed work suits your home.

External brickwork has to deal with changing weather, moisture and everyday wear, so preparation and materials are important.

Edges, joints, surfaces and surrounding areas are considered throughout, helping the finished work look tidy once complete.

What To Avoid
Common problems with poor brickwork repairs
Not all brickwork repairs are completed to the same standard. Problems often happen when visible damage is covered over without understanding why the issue has appeared.
A repair may look acceptable at first, but the same problem can return if movement, moisture, weak mortar or poor preparation have not been addressed.
A proper assessment helps make sure the correct method is used before any repair, repointing, bracing or rendering work is completed.
Covering damage without fixing the cause
If the reason for the damage is ignored, cracks, movement or damp-related issues may continue to develop.
Poor repointing that fails early
Mortar needs to be prepared and applied correctly. Weak or rushed pointing can break down sooner than expected.
Weak wall repairs
Walls need the right support, alignment and preparation. Poor repairs can leave the structure unstable or uneven.
Unsuitable render or finish
Applying the wrong finish can affect the appearance of the property and may not deal with the underlying condition of the wall.
Aftercare
Support after the work is complete
Once your brickwork project has been completed, we can explain the work carried out and any simple steps that may help keep the area in good condition.
You will understand any maintenance recommendations for the repaired wall, pointing, chimney bracing or rendered surface, along with any guarantee details that apply to the work completed.
