How is brick restoration done?
When we are working on a Brick cleaning London project harvesting existing bricks is a critical part. This can be exceptionally important when the restoration is all about historical assets, as it ensures the reclaimed materials can possibly have future use in new construction. For buildings that were constructed from sand mold bricks made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, harvesting can also require checking the backside of a deteriorated brick to see if it was made double-faced.
If this is the case, these particular bricks can be flipped around when used for a new project, in order to look cleaner and less deteriorated. The brick restoration is done by using the old bricks and in a place of new bricks. The use of old brick is cost-effective, but it is risky in terms of its strength. The uses of new bricks are expensive but their use is reliable as a new one is strong. Following are the steps which lead to the restoration of bricks:
This type of brick restoration is for cracked brick faces. Typically, these are small cracks anywhere from hairline to about one-sixteenth of an inch in width. To remove these types of crack on brick, we at Tony Wallace should be done with DHL injection.
Dispersed hydrated lime (DHL) injection requires the use of a syringe with a needle to inject the very viscous substance into the brick’s crack, which is drawn through the clay through capillary action. This process was developed in Germany and has been successfully used in the United States for about the last 15 years. We remove the damage and the loose mortar. With the help of a hammer and chisel, we remove the old mortar up to 1 or ½ inch. Make the masonry mortar. Apply it again on the damaged area and remove the excess mortar. In the end, the surface is sealed.
