Job description

Brick Pointing & Repair
Auckland

All windows (15) and two doors need steel lintels installed. All burst crown bricks need to be removed & replaced; & the iron rods through them used in the 1940s in lieu of lintels. These are spalling & have burst quite a number of the crown bricks already. New crown bricks for the front (south) side need to be installed over the lintels. All the required materials - 'L' section steel lintels& bricks ("Heritage") - have been purchased & are on site. Hopefully, whole crown bricks can be recycled to replace burst ones on the other three sides of the cottage, if they can be succesfully removed. Pointing on parts of the brickwork needs to be restored. The existing mortar is sound. Very unsure of cost!!

Ideal team for job - Peter [principal of B,B&B] Australian experienced [Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney] including this kind of renovation work; resetting crown/soldier bricks on "L" section, steel lintels & patching up pointing. Very prompt to respond to 'Builderscrack' listing, visiting to see the job, negotiating the deal. Very good communication through-out job. Some creative initiatives were seen & taken to expedite the job and get good results. Before & after photos; Anthony&Koula on job.
