The work
Brickwork for Hanwell homes
Hanwell is a short run for us, so a look at a brickwork job here is a visit rather than a day of travel priced into the quote. We work across W7 and out into Ealing, Southall, Brentford, Acton, Greenford.
Good brickwork is invisible. Get the brick, the bond and the mortar right and a rebuilt section disappears into the elevation. Get them wrong and a patch of modern red brick in a lime-mortared London stock wall is the first thing anyone sees.
We take on new brickwork, rebuilds where a wall has bulged or cracked, and repairs to spalled and frost-damaged brick. That covers garden and boundary walls, piers, gables, arches over openings and the reveals around new windows and doors.

The options
Brickwork in Hanwell: which system
We fit all of these across Hanwell. Which one suits depends on the roof you have, the span, and what you want out of it - so here is the honest difference between them.
Garden and boundary walls
Most leaning garden walls in West London were built without enough foundation, or without piers to stiffen a long run. Once a wall starts to move there is no repointing it back to straight, so it comes down and goes back up on a proper footing.
The other failure point is the top. A wall with no coping, or with a cracked cement capping, takes water straight into the brickwork. Frost then blows the face off the brick. A coping with a drip, over a damp proof course, stops it.
- Foundations and piers
- Dug and concreted to suit the wall height and the ground, with piers built into long runs and at gates.
- Copings and cappings
- Brick-on-edge, stone or concrete coping over a damp proof course, with a drip.
- Retaining walls and rebuilds
- Built with the drainage the retained ground needs; leaning walls taken down and rebuilt.

Why TJM
Why Hanwell customers use us for this
- Bond and mortar are matched, not just the brick colour.
- Lime mortar used where soft brick calls for it, instead of hard cement.
- We tell you if a crack is structural movement that needs an engineer, rather than papering over it.
- The same person does the brickwork and the roof detail where the two meet.
The price
Brickwork costs
What brickwork costs comes down to what you actually have, not a price list. Two jobs that sound identical can be an hour of work or a week of it, which is why we do not price roofing over the phone. We come and look, then put a figure in writing.
- Area of brickwork, and whether it is new build or a rebuild.
- How difficult the brick is to match, and whether reclaimed brick is needed.
- Whether propping, needling or a new lintel is involved.
- Access and scaffolding, especially at gable height.
