Replacing Damaged Bricks
Over time, due to weather and various elements, bricks are subject to decay or fretting and can sometimes even crack and crumble. When this occurs, the affected bricks at your home or building need to be replaced. At Federation Tuckpointing, our experienced team are the go-to experts for brick replacement to not only make sure you get the best possible match of your existing bricks, but to ensure the repair is not visible and ties in with the existing surrounding area and aesthetic.
Usually, if you are dealing with cracking or fretting brickwork, there are a few options. One is to turn the bricks around and reapply mortar. Sometimes, bricks can be cracked, but still have plenty of life left in them. Usually, though, cracked or fretting bricks will have to be completely replaced, which is the second repair option. Federation Tuckpointing can help you decide which is right for your cracked brick restoration project in Perth.
Signs that bricks need replacement:
- Cracks or chips in individual bricks
- Bricks that have spalled, fretted or crumbled
- Efflorescence or salty white deposits
- Bulging walls or loose brickwork
- Damp patches or water leaks around brickwork
