Why this matters for Melbourne properties
This Brick Restoration article is written for Melbourne owners and managers who need more than a quick blast. Brick Restoration & Damage Assessment jobs in our city require a surface diagnosis before any cleaning starts.
In Melbourne, everything from growth corridor new-build mortar smear to inner-suburb heritage brick has its own cleaning risk profile. The right method, chemistry and pressure keep the surface safe and the result lasting.
Tuckpointing tells the homes story
The fine white lines in red brick joints are decorative tuckpointing — heritage detail that fades or fails over time.
Cleaning before tuckpointing
You always clean first. Pointing into dirty joints traps salt and accelerates failure.
Specialist labour, not high-volume
Tuckpointing is hand-craft. Expect day-rates not square-metre rates.
