Brick repairs in North Epping
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.
North Epping has no heritage conservation area in Hornsby Shire Council’s plan, but a house can still be listed as a heritage item on its own, so check the address before any bricks are replaced.

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 requirementsNo heritage conservation area
The council’s local environmental plan maps no heritage conservation area inside this suburb. Individual heritage items and other property controls can still apply.
Check if your home is a heritage item
Some homes in North Epping are listed heritage items on the council’s heritage map. 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.

Hornsby Shire Council: the approval route
Minor works or maintenance on a heritage item or in a heritage conservation area may go ahead without a development application, but only after Council gives written heritage exemption advice (free, lodged through the Online Services Portal, response aimed within 21 days). Hornsby DCP Part 9 (s 9.1.7) lists re-pointing brickwork among the minor maintenance works that may not need consent.
