Period brick farmhouse under scaffolding during repointing and porch work, Lapley near Penkridge
During: scaffolded for repointing
Repointed brick farmhouse with new oak-framed entrance porch, Pear Tree Farm, Lapley
After: repointed brick and new oak porch

The project

The brickwork on this Lapley farmhouse had been patched over the years with hard cement mortar, holding damp in the wall. We raked out the full elevation, repointed it in a softer, breathable mix, then designed and built a green oak porch to give the front door the entrance it deserved.

What we did

  • Scaffold and full external repointing
  • Hand-cut green oak entrance porch
  • New brick plinth and stone threshold
  • Making good, painting and clean down
