Pricing guide
The cost depends mainly on whether the work is non-structural patching or a structural stitch-and-tie repair. Simple removal and re-bedding with new mortar is typically less involved than helical bars, lintel replacement or partial rebuilds that may need engineering, propping or scaffold. Access, mortar matching, waste disposal and after-hours attendance can also materially affect the final quote.
Mortar and brick matching
Specialist mortar types or heritage brick matching typically take more time to source and apply than straightforward repointing.
Access and scaffolding needs
Restricted access, working at height or the need for scaffold or temporary propping generally increases complexity and on-site time.
Extent of damage and area size
Larger or multiple damaged areas require more removal, rebuilding and pointing work compared with a small localised patch.
Waste disposal and site preparation
Removal and disposal of debris or preparation/cleaning of surrounding masonry can add scope if not included in the basic job.
