Brick repairs in Croydon
We replace damaged bricks and rebuild loose fences, piers, steps and small sections of wall, matching the brick, mortar and joints to the brickwork around them.
Croydon is split between Burwood Council and Inner West Council, with heritage conservation areas, so both councils’ approval routes are in the heritage checks below.

The work
What we repair.
Bricks need repairing when their faces flake or crumble, or when bricks in a fence, pier or gate have come loose or cracked. We find the cause before choosing the repair.

Questions
Brick repairs questions.
Does the whole wall need to be replaced?
Not always. Where the surrounding wall is sound, individual damaged bricks or a small section can be replaced. If more of the wall has moved or come loose, the repair needs a wider assessment before deciding how much to rebuild.
Why are my bricks crumbling?
Damp, salts and hard cement mortar used with softer brick can contribute to crumbling. The symptoms alone do not identify the cause. We look at the wall before quoting; persistent damp may need a specialist’s assessment and treatment alongside the brick repair.
Can you repair just a few bricks?
Yes. There is no minimum job size. Send a photo showing the damaged area and the wall around it, along with your suburb. We can discuss the scope and arrange a free inspection where needed.
Before work starts
Heritage checks before brick repairs
Replacement bricks are matched to the wall in size, colour and texture, and laid in a suitable mortar. Check the address with the council before bricks are replaced or a fence or pier is rebuilt.

Check if your home is a heritage item
Some homes in Croydon are listed heritage items on the councils’ heritage maps. If yours is one, the work goes through the council’s heritage process, inside a conservation area or not, so check your address on the map before work starts.

Burwood Council: the approval route
Minor work that doesn’t affect a building’s heritage significance may not need development consent, but you must apply on the DA Exemption – Minor Heritage Works form (fee $250) and get Council’s written confirmation before starting.

Inner West Council: the approval route
Inner West Council lists repairing brickwork or masonry among minor heritage works that can go ahead without a development application if Council issues a Heritage Exemption Certificate in writing before work starts. Works that change the building need consent.
