REAL BRICK RESTORATION PROJECTS
Brick Restoration & Window Sill Repair – In-Situ Brick Face Reconstruction
This brick restoration project involved a severely deteriorated concrete window sill affected by corrosion of the steel reinforcement within it. The property had an unusual construction, with a UPVC window sill installed above the original concrete sill. Over time, the internal steel reinforcement corroded and expanded, causing the concrete sill to crack and deteriorate.
Rather than completely removing the existing sill and rebuilding the area, StoneRestoreX assessed the condition and carried out a carefully considered restoration. The damaged concrete sill was cut back to a sound section and the exposed corroded steel reinforcement was removed. The remaining surface was thoroughly prepared and keyed before being rebuilt with a suitable render-based repair.
The specialist part of the restoration was recreating the appearance of the original brickwork directly onto the repaired surface. Once the repair was formed and levelled, brick joints were carefully cut into the surface to recreate individual brick faces and the existing brick pattern. The surface was then finished and colour-matched to the surrounding brickwork.
The final stage involved carefully matching the existing weatherstruck pointing and architectural detailing around the window, allowing the restored section to blend naturally with the original façade.
This approach avoided unnecessary replacement of the surrounding brickwork while restoring the appearance of the original construction. The client was delighted with the finished result.

Corroded Steel Removed from the Existing Sill
The damaged section of concrete was carefully cut back and the corroded steel reinforcement removed before preparing the remaining surface for restoration.
Rebuilding the Window Sill Surface for Brick Face Reconstruction
After removing the failed section and preparing the substrate, the area was rebuilt and levelled ready for the brick restoration detailing.
Completed Brick Restoration with Weatherstruck Pointing
Finished restoration with recreated brick faces, colour-matched detailing and weatherstruck pointing carefully matched to the surrounding brickwork.
In-Situ Brick Face Reconstruction
Individual brick faces were recreated directly into the repaired surface by carefully forming the brick joints to replicate the surrounding brickwork pattern.
Specialist In-Situ Brick Restoration
Where original brickwork cannot be practically retained or where an exact matching brick is unavailable, specialist restoration techniques can sometimes recreate the appearance of individual brick faces directly onto a prepared repair surface.
London Brick Restoration – ATM Opening Closure & In-Situ Brick Face Reconstruction
StoneRestoreX was asked to restore and permanently close a former cashpoint/ATM opening in a London brick façade. The client wanted the redundant opening closed, but was struggling to source new bricks that would accurately match the existing surrounding brickwork.
Rather than introduce visibly different replacement bricks, StoneRestoreX used a specialist in-situ brick restoration technique to recreate the appearance of the existing masonry directly onto the repaired surface.
The opening was carefully prepared and the new infill was constructed using breeze block as the core. Stainless steel reinforcement bars were incorporated across the repair, together with stainless steel mesh mechanically secured using stainless steel washers and fixings. This provided a reinforced base onto which the external restoration could be formed.
Once the reinforced backing was prepared, the surface was built up and finished ready for the brick-face reconstruction. Individual brick faces were then recreated by carefully forming the horizontal and vertical joints into the surface, replicating the existing brick bond and proportions.
The recreated brick faces were subsequently colour-matched by hand to blend with the surrounding London brickwork, followed by carefully finished pointing to integrate the restored section with the existing façade.
The result was a discreet restoration that transformed the former ATM opening into a finished section of brickwork without the need to source an exact matching brick. The client was delighted with the finished result.
Former Cashpoint Opening Before Restoration

Reinforced Infill Construction
The former opening was prepared for restoration using a breeze-block core with stainless steel reinforcement bars incorporated across the infill to provide a secure and reinforced backing.

Stainless Steel Mesh Reinforcement
Stainless steel mesh was installed over the infill and mechanically secured using stainless steel washers and fixings, creating a reinforced base for the external restoration work.
Preparing the Surface for In-Situ Brick Reconstruction
A suitable restoration layer was applied over the reinforced backing and prepared to receive the recreated brick faces. The existing surrounding brickwork was used as the reference for the brick sizes, bond and joint layout.
Completed ATM Opening Brick Restoration
Completed restoration with individually recreated brick faces and colour matching carried out to blend the former cashpoint opening naturally into the surrounding London brick façade.
When Matching Bricks Aren't Available — Specialist In-Situ Restoration
Finding an exact brick match can be extremely difficult, particularly when working with older or unusual brickwork. In certain situations, complete brick replacement is not the only solution.
StoneRestoreX can use specialist in-situ restoration techniques to recreate the appearance of individual brick faces directly onto a prepared repair surface. The brick dimensions, joint arrangement, texture and colour can then be carefully reproduced to help the restoration blend with the existing façade.
This London project is a good example: rather than introduce obviously mismatched bricks around a former ATM opening, the brick appearance was recreated by hand on site.
