Warranted Registry Renovations & Restorations: Revisit of Our Specialist ServicesThe exterior of any building serves more purposes than to be visually appealing. It also acts as a layer of protection from the elements, structural integrity, and protects the building’s history and architectural statement as well. At M13 Construction Ltd, we take great pride in the specialist façade renovations and repairs that we provide to keep the residential and commercial building stock in London alive and well. 

In this blog post, we are going to take a closer look at six core services that we are able to perform skilfully and with pride, focusing on how each could help you restore, preserve, and improve the built environment.

Rendering: The Modern Finish with Traditional Benefits

Rendering is an excellent option for improving a building’s exterior or bringing life to a tired façade. It also serves useful purposes, whether it is a traditional heritage property or a modern commercial building. M13 Construction Ltd offers expertly applied renders, traditional lime render, and modern acrylic and silicone-based products. 

Commonly, a well-executed render protects buildings from moisture, pollution and the limitations of temperature changes. But it also revitalises tired façades, creates a clean, unified appearance and absolutely increases the value of your property. All elements of an M13 Construction render come down to assessing the wall’s condition, preparation of the surface, process of application, and the finish. All done with an emphasis on the protection and stylistic longevity.

Repointing: Preservation of Structural Integrity

Repointing is more than replacing decaying mortar; it’s important for maintaining the integrity and health of the overall structure. Over time, rain, wind and decay will erode the joints between the bricks or stone, allowing rain and damp to penetrate the cavity wall and causing enough damage to require repair. Our expert repointing service supplies four styles of pointing: flush, weather-struck, penny roll, and tuck pointing. 

Each style of pointing will be suited to the architectural style, and dated by the style of the building, how much decay has occurred, and whether rationally we can aim to match the mortar colours from the original builder and type of mortar. The servicing and application of the right mortar ensures we have a sound structural property that is sympathetic to the original appearance of the property. With great workmanship, M13 Construction will ensure from the skill of the person doing the work, and from the materials we use, any structure rehabilitated, renovated, or repaired will be standing firm in generations to come.

Stone Fixings: A Craftsman Approach

Stone facades bring timeless beauty and historical character to buildings, but they can be damaged or weathered over time. Our stone fixing service is focused on repairing and replacing stonework that’s not fit for purpose, whatever the reason (age, pollution, dented stone, physical damage, etc) by way of preservation and precision.

Our expert stone fixers undertake the work using both modern and traditional methods, and use Doff and Torc cleaning systems to prepare and treat the surface. New stone components will be matched accordingly to blend seamlessly with the existing stone components, whilst always retaining as much of the original stone as possible while supporting or rebuilding the structure. The execution, in every example, will be carried out with craftsmanship and respect for the building’s architectural language.

Brick Replacements: Exacting Restoration, Authentic Outcomes

Damaged brickwork can spoil the appearance of a building and create additional structural concerns. At M13 Construction, our brick replacement services begin with a site visit and professional assessment. Once the degradation has been defined, the finger tip painstakingly removes the required damaged bricks and avoids disturbing and damaging its surroundings.

Replacement bricks have size, texture, and tone matched as well as the colour of the mortar and pointing. We also provide specialist cleaning, for example, without causing damage, using a gentle water-based approach or using a DOFF/TORC system, to create uniformity from old to new. This creates an effect where the new is well integrated and indistinguishable from a structural repair that offers additional security to the building and restores the appeal of the façade.

Glazed Brick & Tile Repairs: Precision and Protection

Glazed brick and tile façades need plenty of care and attention when damaged because their building surface is unique due to their reflective nature, which, of course, is common in heritage or decorative buildings that will require an excellent specialist to restore such building surfaces.

Again, our work on glazed brick and tile invariably involves a combination of pressure washing and specialist products to remove many years of grime and discoloring. With vandalism, we do careful patching to ensure that our repairs are not too noticeable. This would similarly involve the grouting and protective coating to enhance the durability of the work undertaken across such surfaces. It really is a detailed work process to bring back colour and beauty to the original colour of brick or tile’s original architectural features.

Moulding Repairs: Restoring Architectural Detail

Architectural mouldings are decorative elements that provide character and sophistication to a façade. Mouldings exist in many forms, such as cornices, friezes and even elaborate stone carving. All these features of a façade endure the consequences of exposure to erosive elements over time, which can chip, frazzle or disintegrate altogether. 

At M13 Construction, our moulding repair specialists use heritage-approved methods and tools to restore architecturally decorated features. Whether replacing an original feature or replacing a lost decorative element, our craftsmen guarantee that each detail is created with both historical accuracy and artistic skill. Using the appropriate stone or resin materials, we blend the old with the new – upholding the original character of the building while improving its durability.
