That repointing is gorgeous!

[@mattcartwright8272]

Fantastic work. Pity you didn't show the Brickies actually doing the work. There's loads of interest on YT for top class bricklaying - that would really drive your Subscriber count. Also, if anyone is interested in history, the story of the Corbett Estates in London is an interesting read. The guy was very forward thinking. And Lastly, Kudos to the customer for paying a LOT to have the front facade restored. I only hope they go onto remove that hideous concrete tiled roof.

I’m a Bricky and this is the kind of stuff I would enjoy doing instead of house bashing. I did a 600 year old house in flush pointing beating with churn brush after. Finding a old clay pipe the bricky’s used and out there 600 years ago make you take step back and think they was there how did they do it ps give me a job lol

[@ilricettario]

Heard that the old brickies used to put a clay pipe every thousand bricks don’t know if it’s true but sounds good.

[@Dubjaxfilms]

If you want that house to look "the best property in the street", then you should think getting rid of those Redland 49's on the roof and put slates back as it should be, those concrete tiles stick out like a sore thumb. You did a nice job with the bricwork.

Thanks Paul

[@5e34nut]

Breathtaking workmanship Thank you for sharing 🙂

[@Moultonist]

Thank the Lord! No weather struck pointing. Well done

[@londonrepointingrestoratio4275]

We definitely dont do that style of pointing 🙌

[@Moultonist]

@@londonrepointingrestoratio4275 For heaven's sake, Why?! Weather struck is horrible and unlikely to match the house when it was built originally.

[@londonrepointingrestoratio4275]

@@Moultonist typo error we definitely don’t !!! Do weather struck

[@anoshya]

Great job…I just love watching brickwork and pointing videos…so,satisfying when a job is carried out well

[@cirobernardone5721]

Great job that mate.

[@londonrepointingrestoratio4275]

Thanks 👍

[@TAH1712]

Just exceptional ! What can be built can always be rebuilt, but only by the best with the knowledge and determination. Exceptional workmanship and restoration. I expect the brickwork was already bad even before the pebble dashing went on but with damp getting through, as you say, that caused spalling and even more brick crumbling and brick deterioration.

[@tonyalways7174]

Astonishing both in terms of skill and the sympathetic approach to restoring that house. Truly beautiful work. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Casper-we3dq]

Your level of restoration skill is extraordinary. Do you have experience with organisations like English Heritage or the National Trust?

[@Chris-fd9zx]

Lovely video, how do you secure the new outer layer of bricks to the inner layer? it was done with a cross bricks before think?

[@Doeexist]

Fantastic work. The intricacy of skill here is outstanding. How you tied the Flemish bond in as well is interesting to me. I love restoration and preservation of old properties. Great work.

[@londonrepointingrestoratio4275]

Thank you very much!

[@twoblue7329]

Did this a few times in my career biggest problem is damp coming through the 9" walls when finished on window reveals your job looks superb well done ......

[@MarkGould-e6j]

Massive refurb theses were the jobs I used to take on , normally around Baker Street and most of the West End of London this is a proper Brickies job I would love to see the film from start to finish on how you went about it

[@topcatcoolio8807]

HI MUST HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT snapping the header on the Fleming bond. Without inner disturbed

[@cairo678]

Nice job 👍

[@kevocos]

Excellent finish, really pity you didnt show any of the work being done though!

[@user-hi7hy9ry3c]

Looks great! How much could a restoration on this scale cost roughly?

[@sammy_bw]

A small fortune for this. There will be a lot of man hours involved.

[@TheLeeattwood]

AMAZING

[@Joseph-mu3sr]

That's excellent

[@hbpw857]

That’s class

[@londonrepointingrestoratio4275]

Thank you !!!

[@MarkGould-e6j]

I suspect the original mortar was sand and Lime easy to take down

[@narannavan]

Bet that cost a bit but worth it. I dread mine look like this when i get the cladding off.

[@5A1RA]

Is there any structural conditions when you are doing this ?

[@MrWmo1975]

Thank you! I have a couple of bricks which need resurfacing. What mix do you recommend for repairing red bricks? Thanks in advance

[@josephcox295]

Do you use new or old brick

[@jackwardley3626]

did you burn off all the plastic paint and replace with linseed paint

[@stevenjohnson5126]

Did you put any cavity insulation in while you went up or not ?

[@ilricettario]

Ubiquitous, horrible double glazed plastic windows.
