Remedial Brickwork and Brick Repairs
Older Hunter Valley homes move. Mine subsidence around Cessnock, reactive clay soils and rusting steel lintels all show up as cracked brickwork. We repair the cause, not just the crack, and match the existing brick and mortar so the repair disappears into the wall.

What's included
Crack stitching and rebuilds
Cracked and bowed sections cut out and rebuilt, with helical stitching or new articulation joints where movement is ongoing.
Rusted lintel replacement
Corroded steel lintels over windows and doors removed, replaced with galvanised sections and the brickwork rebuilt above.
Repointing and tuckpointing
Raked out and repointed mortar joints on heritage and mid-century homes, colour matched to the original.
Brick matching
We source recycled and current-range bricks so patched areas blend with the rest of the wall instead of standing out.

Remedial Brickwork questions
Can cracked brickwork be repaired without rebuilding the wall?
In most cases yes. Fine cracks can be stitched and repointed. Full rebuilds are only needed where the wall has lost bearing or bowed out of plumb.
Will the new bricks match my old ones?
We match colour, size and texture as closely as the market allows, often using recycled bricks of the same era, and we tone the mortar to suit.
