Islington is one of London’s most architecturally rich boroughs. The streets of Barnsbury, Canonbury and Highbury contain some of the best-preserved Victorian and Georgian terraced housing in the capital — much of it now within conservation areas where planning officers require sympathetic lime mortar repairs.
We’ve worked extensively across Islington for over 35 years. We understand the variety of brick types, mortar colours and joint profiles found across the borough — from the pale London stock bricks of Barnsbury to the red brick Edwardian terraces of Holloway — and we match every job to the original specification.
Chris visits every property personally before any work begins. He’ll assess the condition of your mortar, identify the correct lime specification, and provide a clear written quotation at no charge and no obligation.
