Brick repairs in Lidcombe
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.
Lidcombe is split between Cumberland City Council and the City of Parramatta, with a heritage conservation area under Cumberland City Council’s plan, 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.
How to check heritage requirementsCheck if your street is in a conservation area
Lidcombe has a heritage conservation area, listed below with the plan that maps it. If your home is in one, check the council’s heritage requirements before work on its walls starts.

Check if your home is a heritage item
Some homes in Lidcombe 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.

Cumberland City Council: the approval route
Before starting, notify Council in writing and receive its written advice that the work is minor or maintenance and won’t harm heritage significance. If the work isn’t exempt or minor, a development application is needed.

City of Parramatta: the approval route
Certain minor works can be approved without a development application through a Heritage Minor Works application lodged online; Council recommends speaking to its Heritage Advisor first. Work beyond that scope needs a development application.
