Restore your property with A.P.T. Builders professional brick repair and replacement services. With over 18 years of experience serving Ashford and Kent, we repair damaged brickwork caused by frost damage, impact, subsidence, and weathering. From replacing spalled bricks and rebuilding damaged sections to structural crack repairs and chimney stack rebuilding, we carefully match existing brickwork ensuring repairs blend seamlessly while restoring structural integrity and weather protection to your property.
Damaged brickwork compromises both structural integrity and appearance, requiring prompt professional attention. Frost damaged bricks, spalling faces, cracks from subsidence, impact damage, and deteriorated mortar all need expert repair using matching bricks and appropriate techniques. We carefully remove damaged bricks, source replacements matching size, colour, and texture, and rebuild sections ensuring structural stability, weather resistance, and visual consistency. All repairs include repointing, crack stitching where required, and appropriate preventative measures addressing underlying causes.
Replacing frost-damaged bricks where faces have flaked and deteriorated from water and freezing.
Crack stitching, resin grouting, and rebuilding addressing subsidence and movement damage.

Understanding brick damage causes is essential for effective repairs and preventing recurrence. Frost damage from water saturation and freezing cycles is the most common issue, causing face spalling and crumbling. Structural movement from subsidence or settlement creates cracks requiring both immediate repair and foundation stabilization. Failed wall ties cause cavity walls to separate with characteristic horizontal cracking. Impact damage, inappropriate repointing with hard mortars, chimney deterioration, and lintel failure all require specialist diagnosis and repair techniques.
