There are different ways to treat brickwork.
We provide a wide range of brickwork services from building a patio a garden wall to a complete home or extension.
We are able to produce high-quality ornate brickwork which can add character to a structure. We take great care to
match the existing property by using a variety of brick and bonding.
Brickwork
Bricks absorb water, which upon freezing will cause outer surfaces to flake off. When this happens, the damaged bricks need to be replaced as soon as possible. Otherwise, large areas of the walls of your house can be affected adding to time work and cost.

Rendering
We offer 2 options for the rendering to the exterior of a property.
Option 1
We prepare brick work by removing all loose and old cracked or cracking material, we then apply a bond which aides the render to grab the surface, using a sand and cement render we create and apply an ultra tough bond to the exterior of the property protecting it from the elements of weather, providing a wonderful look at the same time. We can apply additional types of waterproofing to surfaces which are badly affected by the weather. We render block and/or brick walls to provide a long lasting weatherproof surface.
Option 2
Using the same preperation method as option 1 we apply a bond and attach insullation panels, webbing and render this method acts as an insullation preventing heatloss during the winter months, however and keeping your property cool during the summer, inturn reducing your energy bills.
Pointing or repointing-brickwork & stonework
Is the mortar between bricks, the visible edge of the mortar-joint, repointing is to remove and replace the old mortar with new. Properly done, repointing restores the visual and physical integrity of the masonry. Improperly done, repointing not only detracts from the appearance of the building, but may also cause physical damage to the masonry units themselves. Our skilled staff will advise different possibilities for your property.
Damp proofing
Is the waterproof layer between bricks, under a concrete floor is called the damp proof course. It is designed to stop water rising into the house from the ground or foundations. Damp is a big problem with Bulgarian properties as properties were never supplied with a suitable DPC if supplied at all. It is possible to turn a damp or even wet basement or cellar into a habitable room or area used for dry storage, but it is imperative to use the correct waterproofing membrane system otherwise all you are doing is masking the problem.
