Experienced Brick & Stone Care in Kensington
Bricks or stones are incredibly strong, versatile building materials; however, over time they can deteriorate and affect the structural integrity of your home. This can occur for a number of reasons, including pollution, weather conditions, and even damage from climbing plants.
At London Brick Cleaning Company our aim is to help you give your Kensington property the care and attention it deserves.

What Does Brick Cleaning Involve?
Our priority is to avoid damaging your brickwork, so the method we choose will be as gentle as possible to achieve the desired result. Where we can, we prefer to use water alone, or a combination of water and a mild detergent. If stains or deposits are heavy, an acid solution of an appropriate concentration will be applied. This concentration is decided upon by our team, and the products used, rigorously tested in all conditions. The process usually requires several careful repetitions to ensure that the surface of the bricks remains intact, but at the end of it the original finish of your bricks will be revealed in its true glory.
Our experienced team have many years of knowledge behind them, and will happily look after the structure of your home, which includes pointing and stone or brick restoration.
Pointing and Restoration
You probably already know that pointing refers to the mortar part of bricks and mortar; you can see it between the individual bricks or stone blocks used to build your home. But you may not know that, aside from being a bedding substance for brick or stone, pointing has a crucial role to play in maintaining the structural health of any building. This need for flexibility means that pointing is intentionally the weakest element in your home’s construction, and needs to be restored or replaced at regular intervals.
As you can imagine, the primary challenge of brick or stone restoration is aesthetic; how to go about repairing damage in buildings which are often centuries old, or built using distinctive bricks or tiles. London’s Victorian buildings in particular are showcases for amazing terracotta or faience tile work, or feature astounding decorative brickwork. Working on the structure of these buildings without also conserving their beauty would be tantamount to vandalism. That’s why we specialise in sourcing hard-to-find bricks and tiles, and in matching replacements to the original materials.
