Re-pointing works are often required to period properties due to weathering causing the Pointing to fail allowing damp into the property which can cause structural issues if left.
Re-pointing is a delicate process that should only be carried out by a specialist as when carried out incorrectly it can be extremely costly to put right and look awful. Newman’s only use directly employed time served Re-pointing technicians to carry out Re-pointing works.
Lateral Movement is a common Structural Defect in period properties and should be assessed and rectified using a Specialist Structural Repair Contractor.
Newman’s carry out many Structural Surveys and Structural Repairs to restrain and repair Lateral Movement, Bowing Walls and Bulging Stonework that has the potential to collapse a building if left ignored.
One of the most common causes of cracked brickwork in London is caused by Lintel Failure and around 75% of residential Structural Repairs that we carry out are to Reinforce Failed Lintels.
