“Excellent service throughout. Ashton came out to look at an issue raised on a part-exchange survey and, rather than recommend expensive remediation, told me honestly there was nothing wrong with the wall. Great to have an honest discussion.”

Fix the damage, then stop the water
Failed pointing, cracked render, eroded brickwork and poor drainage all let water into the fabric of your home. Once it is in, it saturates walls, feeds penetrating damp, rots timber and, over time, undermines the structure itself.
Patching the visible damage without addressing how the water got in is a false economy — the problem simply comes back, often worse. Effective repair always means dealing with the cause as well as the symptom.
Following PCA guidance, our surveyor establishes exactly where water is entering and how far the damage extends, then carries out the right repairs — repointing, brickwork repair, render or drainage — with our own in-house team.
The structural & water problems we treat
Each lets water into your property in a different way. Our survey confirms the cause before any work is quoted.
Failed pointing & mortar
Eroded or cracked mortar joints let driving rain soak straight into the wall. Repointing renews the joints and restores the wall’s weather resistance.
Damaged brickwork
Spalled, cracked or loose bricks allow water in and weaken the wall. We repair or replace affected brickwork to keep the structure sound and watertight.
Cracked or blown render
Once render cracks or debonds, water gets trapped behind it and accelerates damage. We remove and replace failed render with the correct breathable system.
Poor ground drainage
Waterlogged ground and surface water against the walls drive penetrating damp. A French drain intercepts and channels that water safely away from the building.

How we put it right

Repointing
Failed mortar is raked out and replaced with the correct mix and finish, renewing the wall’s weather resistance and appearance.
Brickwork repair
Damaged or spalled bricks are cut out and replaced, and cracks are properly repaired, restoring a sound, watertight wall.
Render replacement
Cracked or blown render is removed and replaced with a breathable system that keeps rain out while letting the wall release trapped moisture.
French drains & drainage
An external drainage system intercepts groundwater and channels it away from the foundations, relieving water pressure against the walls.

Everything you might be wondering
Always. Repairing the visible damage is only half the job — we identify and resolve how the water is getting in, whether that is failed pointing, damaged render or poor drainage, so the problem does not return.
It depends on the area involved, but most domestic repointing and brickwork repairs are completed within a few days. We give you a clear timescale after the initial survey.
Yes. We match mortar mixes, colours and finishes as closely as possible so repairs blend in with the surrounding wall rather than standing out.
Yes. Our surveyors are PCA aligned and ISSE accredited, we are registered for environmental waste carriage, and we hold strong independent ratings across Checkatrade, Google and Yell.
