The original wall was a half brick thick wall with piers which was undermined by trees planted close to the wall causing it to topple over.
The trees were removed and the wall completely taken down to the foundations. The foundations were reinforced and a new one brick thick wall was built in its place using blue engineering in the base, london tudor facing bricks in the main wall and topped with blue engineering bricks.

The customer had a problem with rainwater running down the sloped road into her drive flooding the driveway and garden.
I dug a channel in front of the drive and laid concrete edging raised higher than the road so as to deflect the water further down the road.
I then laid tarmac to leave a neat finish.
Whilst the roof was being replaced i was asked to repoint the chimney by grinding out the joints and re-pointing using the weatherpointing or struck method. I also re-haunched (re-applied the mortar to the top of the chimney (see photo) so the rainwater will deflect from the top.

The customer requested a patio with a step down to a lower patio.This was a challenge due to the materials having to come through the conservatory.
The area was prepared with excess soil removed, a concrete foundation and a dwarf wall comprising of blue engineering bricks built.
Sub-base hardcore was then brought in and compacted and the patio (consisting of indian sandstone slabs) laid on a wet sand and cement mix.
The joints in-between the slabs were then pointed with a stronger mortar mix.

The customer requested a double skinned wall of red engineering bricks with one course of blue bricks near the base topped with solid blue engineering bricks with piers.
The driveway originally consisted of old damaged concrete and slabs. This was broken up and removed; the driveway excavated to a depth of 200mm, sub-base hardcore laid and compacted; concrete charcoal blocks were then laid on a stiff concrete mix to form the outer layer then more hardcore was added to bring up the levels and compacted.
Concrete edgings were then laid between the path and the driveway to give a neat finish.
Sharp sand was then added, screeded off and tamped to allow for the brindle concrete blocks to be laid and cut as necessary. The blocks were then compacted before finer block paving sand was added and compacted in-between the block joints.
A further course of charcoal blocks were laid around the garden.
To finish off the tarmac on the road was cut back and new tarmac was laid to give a neat and level finish with the path.

The customer requested the old patio to be lifted and replaced with a new one and extending it across the old garage slab base and incorporating new steps down to the lower garden and access to the rear doors of the house.Coto black slabs in various sizes were used.
The old slabs were lifted and utilised as hardcore in the new steps; a dwarf wall was built to lift the patio levels to the correct height and hardcore sub-base was brought in and compacted.
The slabs were then laid in a random pattern on a wet sand and cement mix and pointed with a stronger mix.
The steps were then built using matching slabs to top them.Crushed slate was added to the border,the patio was then cleaned and jetwashed to give the finished effect.

The customer requested widening the blockpaving on both sides of the drive and front of the bay window and front door, lifting the old “council” type slabs at the side and rear of the house and laying indian sandstone in its place.
The turf was initially lifted at front and rear, the old edgings and slabs lifted and the ground dug down to the requiered lavels;
Sub-base hardcore was then laid and compacted and the blockpaving laid to front of the bay window, in front of the front door and upto the side gate.
The indian sandstone was laid using the 560mm x 560mm slabs on a full bed of a wet sand and cement mix for the main patio area and the larger 845mm x 560mm slabs laid by the side of the house and in front of the conservatory.
A step was then built in front of the patio doors incorporating blue engineering bricks topped with indian sandstone.
Tha joints were then pointed with a stronger mortar mix, then the excess cleaned off to give the final finished look.
The area had to be cleared of existing rubble,a wall demolished, concrete floors broken up and dug down to the required levels to compacted soil.

The customer had a few slabs laid when the conservatory was built which suited the needs at the time, but was small and didn’t meet their full requirements.
The old slabs were lifted and the grassed area dug out.
As the height of the garden was higher than the patio, decorative concrete edgings were laid to hold back the soil and give a nice finish. Sub-base hardcore was brought in and compacted and indian sandstone in various sizes was laid on a wet sand and cement base.
The slabs were cut around the drains (after the largest drain was lowered to the height of the patio) and cut around the plants to the side. Gravel was laid in the gap between the end of the patio and the decorative edging to form a drainage channel for the rainwater.
Two steps were then built in red engineering bricks topped with indian sandstone slabs. The patio was then pointed with a stronger sand and cement mix and cleaned off to complete the look .

As you can see from the before photos, the bottom left handside corner of the building was in a terrible state.
This was due to a previous neghbour building a shed up against the customers house and due to no adequate drainage from the roof over a period of time the rain washed down the walls and caused a freeze/thaw process onto the bricks.
This then eroded the bricks away until finally the building started to fall away.To remedy this the old bricks had to be carefully removed and the corner rebuilt.
Also when the neighbour had built the shed, he’d knocked out bricks so he couild tie in the floor joists of his shed. These too had to be replaced and made good along with other bricks that had perished over the years.
The joints of the entire wall were then ground out and the wall repointed, coping stones were also replaced and repointed

As a common feature of wall gardens over a period of the time, the soil soaks up the rainwater which penetrates the brick and a freeze/thaw situation occurs. This systematically blows the face of the brick until eventually the whole brick disintegrates causing the wall to collapse. Early repairs will prevent the latter from happening […]

This systematically blows the face of the brick until eventually the whole brick disintegrates causing the wall to collapse.
Early repairs will prevent the latter from happening and bring the wall back to its former glory
Hence the old bricks were removed and the damamged wall was rebuilt as can be seen in the photos (the new bricks will obviously stand out for some time until they weather and blend in the existing bricks)

As on all upper bathrooms with wooden floors due to movement; which could cause the tiles to crack; plywood should be laid first. In this instance a new product on the market called plastic ply was laid. This is slightly more expensive than wooden ply to lay, but as it is thinner and easier to cut it keeps the finished floor level lower; thus it should be on a level par with carpets in the next room and hopefully prevent you from having to remove the bathroom door to plane the bottom so it can still shut.
The floor was first prepared with tile primer, the plastic ply then stuck to the floor and the tiles laid on a rapid-set floor adhesive cut to suit sround the toilet and sink.
The tiles were then grouted and cleaned to give the finished look.

You will also note some of the bricks had to be replaced due to frost damage over the years; the old ones are removed and replaced with new which dosent affect the structure of the building and giving the building a much nicer look.
A great deal of the older houses would benefit from this due to the fact the mortar between the bricks has been weathering away and dropping out over the years, thus leaving it susceptable to the elements causing possible damp and cold spots in the house.
Once pointed this should remedy these problems.
