We carry out brickwork and repairs in Chelmsford and across Essex: repointing, brick repairs, garden walls, porches and rendering, matched to what is already there.

Working with you

Repairs that match what is there

We match the brick, the mortar and the joint to the existing wall, so the repair does not stand out. SET Building & Brickwork has over 15 years in the trade and will tell you what the wall actually needs.

Brickwork and repointing

Repointing replaces failed mortar joints and protects the brickwork behind them. Matching the mortar and the joint profile to the existing wall matters, particularly on older properties.

Brick matching is part of the same discipline. New work should sit alongside the existing wall rather than stand out from it.

Rendering

Render systems differ in appearance, flexibility and how they handle movement. The right choice depends on the substrate and the property, and preparation is as important as the render itself.

Repairs around the house

Not every job is a major project. We take on repairs and smaller works, including structural repairs, brickwork rebuilds and making good after other work.

Plastering and carpentry

Plastering, carpentry and second fix work form part of most of our projects, and we also take them on as standalone jobs where needed.

Questions about brickwork and repairs

Do you take on smaller jobs?

Yes. Alongside larger projects we carry out repairs, brickwork and maintenance work.

Can you match existing brickwork?

We match the brick and the mortar to the existing wall. It is the difference between a repair you notice and one you do not.

Do you repoint whole properties?

Yes, as well as sections where the mortar has failed. We will look at the condition of the wall and advise on what actually needs doing.
