The method we are going to discuss here is entirely cosmetic and will not provide or restore any structural integrity on it's own. Cracked brickwork can be caused by a wide variety of issues, ranging from subsidence, lintel failure, tree root induced shrinkage and many many more. \u003cstrong\u003eIt is important you get these issues fixed first before proceeding with cosmetic repairs of the brickwork. \u003c\/strong\u003eYou can check out the Repair Guides [LINK] section of the website here for help with tackling these issues yourself- or alternatively, if you're looking for someone to do this work for you, get in touch with our sister company via their website at www.jtcstructural.co.uk where they will be happy to help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Is Spalling Brickwork?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpalling brickwork refers to the deterioration of bricks, often appearing as crumbling, flaking, peeling, chipping, or cracking. This process occurs when the outer surface of the brick begins to break down and eventually falls away. While spalling may sometimes be a superficial issue, it’s essential to inspect it promptly to prevent further damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCauses of Spalling Brickwork\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary cause of spalling is moisture. Traditional lime mortar allows moisture to escape between bricks, but when modern cement pointing (such as strap or ribbon pointing) is applied, it traps water inside. This forces moisture to escape through the brick face, accelerating deterioration—especially in older, solid-walled properties that have been improperly repointed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlder bricks, lacking the protective treatments of modern facing bricks, are more porous and absorb water easily. In freezing conditions, trapped water expands as it turns to ice, causing cracks and further weakening the brick structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOther causes of damaged brick faces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, there are a multitude of different reasons brick can be damaged, however the most common ones are noted below.
