WHY MASONRY REPAIR?

It is common to see homes and properties in a sad or dangerous state across Sydney. Masonry repairs are a requirement for many structures built from heritage brick, however, many are also newer, more modern builds that have experienced weathering and decay or were not built to the highest standard. Over time the mortar on your home or building will begin to deteriorate which can then lead to much bigger issues.


Eroding mortar can result in moisture penetrating the wall and causing internal damage, bricks can dislodge and fall from the wall and in severe cases can result in the wall collapsing. Ignoring these signs can be costly and very dangerous. We can carry out any necessary repairs to make your building safe again, we strive to restore your building to a state you can be proud of.


In some cases brick damage may be cosmetic, however if left untreated the ramifications can be costly. Cracks throughout your brickwork, crumbling/soft mortar are often the first sign that we need to conduct necessary masonry repairs as required in Sydney.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What is heritage restoration?

    Heritage restoration is the process of repairing and restoring a building or structure that has been deemed as historically significant, using restored brickwork through repointing, tuckpointing, lintel or arch bar replacement, and wall tie replacement.

  • What are the benefits of heritage restoration?

    There are many benefits to heritage restoration, including:

    • Preserving the historical significance of the building or structure
    • Restoring the building or structure to its original condition
    • Protecting the building or structure against further damage
    • Improving the overall appearance of the building or structure

  • What is the process of heritage restoration?

    The process of heritage restoration can vary depending on the condition of the building or structure and the type of restoration work that needs to be carried out.


    In general, it involves the following steps:

    • Assessment of the condition of the building or structure
    • Preparation of a restoration plan
    • Execution of the restoration plan

  • What is the cost of heritage restoration?

    The cost of heritage restoration can vary depending on the size and condition of the building or structure, as well as the type of restoration work that needs to be carried out. In general, it can range from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars.

  • Can I do heritage restoration work myself?

    It is not safe for homeowners to carry out heritage restoration work themselves. As a rule, you should leave this kind of work to the professionals in order to make sure that it is done correctly and safely.

  • What is the importance of historical accuracy in heritage restoration?

    It is important to maintain the historical accuracy of a heritage restoration project as it is what gives the project its character and tells the story of the building. If you don’t restore a heritage building in the same manner as it was originally constructed, you run the risk of losing its character and historical significance. It is also important from a financial standpoint, as many heritage buildings are protected by heritage overlays, which can increase the value of a property.

  • What are the dangers of restoration projects gone wrong?

    Any home restoration project can be risky, but when it comes to restoring heritage homes, the stakes are even higher.


    There are a lot of things that could go wrong if the work is done wrong, like:

    • Damaged or weakened structural elements: If the restoration work is not done properly, it can cause damage to the home’s structural elements, such as the walls, roof, or foundation. This can lead to serious problems down the line, including the risk of collapse.
    • Rusted or damaged metal components: Metal components such as window and door lintels and arch bars can rust over time, which can cause the brickwork around them to crack and fall away. If left untreated, this can lead to a dangerous situation where the whole wall could collapse.
    • Poorly performed restoration work can lead to moisture problems, including mould and damp. This can be a serious health hazard and can also damage the home’s structure and finishes.

  • How can you ensure a successful heritage restoration project?

    The most important thing is to plan ahead and make sure you have a clear understanding of what needs to be done. You also need to make sure you have the right team of professionals working on the project and that you have the financial resources to complete it.

  • Whom should you contact if you are interested in starting a heritage restoration project?

    If you are interested in starting a heritage restoration project, you should contact a professional heritage restoration company. These companies have the experience and expertise necessary to complete a successful restoration project.


    Heritage Restoration is a comprehensive and reliable service that can help you with all of your restoration needs. Our experts have years of experience in the field and are always working to give you the best service possible.


    At Keystone Pointing, we understand the importance of historical accuracy, and we will work with you to ensure that your restoration project stays true to the original design and intent of the building or monument. We also understand the dangers of restoration projects gone wrong, and we take every precaution necessary to ensure the safety of our team and our clients.

  • Why should you care about heritage restoration?

    By restoring heritage buildings in Sydney, we can bring back a sense of what was lost and help others connect with the past. Heritage sites can also be used to educate people about particular eras or events in history, which can help us better understand them.


    Heritage restoration is also important because it helps preserve pieces of art and architecture that wouldn't otherwise be able to stand the test of time without maintenance. This allows us to appreciate the beauty of these works for future generations who may not have been able to see them in person when they were first created.


    When we restore a historical site or building, we are able to learn more about it. We can also learn more about the people who built it and why they made certain decisions when they did so. Through this process, we can appreciate their work in a way that was not possible before - by experiencing it just as it was intended when it was newly built.

  • Do you handle work for apartment buildings the same way you do for residential homes?

    Yes, the process is the same, just scaled up. Whether it's a house or a multi-unit apartment block, we apply the same level of care and precision. Larger buildings may require scaffolding, which we organise as part of the job.

  • Do you take on small apartment complexes or only large buildings?

    We’re happy to work on both. From four-unit blocks to larger apartment complexes, we treat every project with the same level of professionalism. No job is too big or too small and we have the systems in place to handle projects across all sizes.
