In broad terms there are three alternatives for repairing defective masonry; complete renewal, insitu surface restoration and in some cases consolidation.
The need for masonry repair lies with factors such as incorrect detailing in original construction, incompatible materials placed beside one another, inadequate weatherings and regrettably the problem is often caused by bad repairs, in particular, the use of hard mortars for repointing or stucco repair.
Lack of maintenance also leads ultimately to further damage of the building fabric. In order to identify concealed defects, it is often necessary to clean external masonry to expose the problem. Once diagnosed various masonry repair methods can be adopted depending upon the type of masonry and the extent of the decay.
