Old brickwork fails at the joints first. Rake out the dead mortar, match it and tool it back in, and the wall gets decades back.
I repoint, repair and restore brick and block. Matched mortar, matched brick, and a straight answer on what's cosmetic and what's structural.

The Top End
The wet finds every weak joint
Up here, failed pointing and the wet season are a bad pair. Water gets in, salts come out, brick faces blow. I match the original mortar and profile so the repair sheds water and disappears into the wall.
FAQ
Common questions
Can you match old mortar and brick?
Yes. I match mortar colour and joint profile, and source the closest brick available so a repair reads as original.Is my cracking structural?
I'll tell you straight after a look. Some cracking is cosmetic and repoints out; some needs stitching or rebuilding. No alarmism either way.Do you do heritage work?
Yes. I've matched 1920s and 1950s brickwork on jobs across Australia, with lime mortars and original profiles where the building calls for it.
