Take a look at our range of brick repair and restoration services in Stockton.
Replacing Brick and Stones
The bricks on your exterior walls are more likely to need replacing than those inside your home. We’ll check both to make sure!
Damaged bricks can be carefully removed. We start by scraping out all the mortar around the damaged brick or bricks.
Our professional and experienced Stockton team can gently leverage the brick or bricks out of the wall. We do this slowly and to avoid damaging or moving the surrounding bricks.
We’ll then clean the area, debris gets in the way of our desired perfect finish.
To wrap it up, we’ll mix some fresh mortar and slide the new brick or bricks into position, then mortar around it.
Once we’re done, you’ll have a hard time spotting the repair!
Stitching Cracks
Most people won’t be able to tell if a crack is structural or cosmetic. Of course, the bigger the crack the more concerning it is. However, size doesn’t guarantee it’s a major issue.
If you have a crack the first thing you need to do is contact us. We’ll inspect it and tell you how serious the issue is.
With your blessing, we’ll stitch the crack. To do this we’ll add a fluid cement and effectively stitch the two sections of wall together in the same way you would darn a sock. Does anyone still do that?
The crack is then filled. Thanks to our dedicated mortar matching team we are able to make the crack and the stitches invisible.
All you have to do is continue to monitor your brick work and let us know if there are any further issues.
Mortar Matching
A key part of our service is the ability to mortar match. It’s something we take great pride in getting right. After all, there is little point replacing bricks and mortar if they are going to stand out a mile afterwards.
Our aim is to blend any brick repair and restoration perfectly, making it effectively invisible.
We have years of experience dealing with mortar. We understand the different types of mortar and how to correctly blend the mix to get the desired color. In short, we’re passionate about our mortar matching service and strive to get it right every time.
Paving
Brick paving has become exceptionally popular. We understand why, it generally looks fantastic.

That’s where we come in. We’re experts at removing bricks and replacing them, ensuring you don’t even notice the repair.
We’re here and ready to help, it just takes one phone call or an email!
Flashing And Waterproofing
Flashing is another unsung hero. It sits around the edge of chimneys and similar structures on your house. It doesn’t look special but it does keep the moisture out.
If you’re struggling with damp or water ingress, you need to inspect your flashing as well as your bricks.
We can do it for you, and we can replace the flashing when necessary.
Stockton Masonry also offers a waterproofing service. Our sealant keeps the water out and gives you confidence in your home!
