Barnet is a large and architecturally varied borough. The Hampstead Garden Suburb — one of the most significant planned communities in Britain — contains Arts and Crafts housing of exceptional quality that requires equally exceptional care. East Barnet Village, Monken Hadley and New Barnet all have significant stocks of Victorian and Edwardian housing. Finchley and Whetstone are dominated by inter-war semi-detached properties, many brick-built and now approaching the age where mortar maintenance becomes essential.
We work across the whole borough. Whether you have a Hampstead Garden Suburb cottage, a Finchley Edwardian semi or a Victorian terrace in New Barnet, we assess each property individually and specify the correct lime mortar for that building.
Many Barnet properties that were repointed with cement in the 1970s, 80s and 90s are now showing the consequences — cracked bricks, damp penetration and spalling. We remove the cement carefully using hand tools and replace it with the appropriate lime specification.

“Chris is a craftsman and master pointer. He made a really beautiful job of repointing the whole side of our building. I can’t recommend him highly enough.”
