Brickwork Inspections

During our comprehensive brickwork inspections, we thoroughly examine all brick and blockwork elements of your property. Our experienced inspectors assess structural integrity, moisture problems, and potential pest entry points that could compromise your home. We understand that deteriorating brickwork not only affects your property's stability but can create perfect conditions for pest infestations, from termites and ants to other wood-boring insects.

What We Inspect

Cracks in brick and blockwork, particularly around windows and doors where gaps can allow pest entry

Mortar condition - checking for deterioration, missing sections, or fretting that insects can exploit

Construction joints - ensuring proper sealing to prevent moisture and pest access

Ventilation bricks - examining for blockages or damage

Weep holes - verifying they're clear and functioning correctly

Wall alignment - looking for bulging or uneven sections that may indicate structural issues

Steel lintels above windows - checking for corrosion

Ground-level brickwork - assessing for rising damp and ant nest evidence

Garden bed placement - evaluating risks from soil contact with brickwork

Evidence of pest activity - including termite mud tubes, ant trails, or other insect presence

Below-ground brickwork - examining for moisture issues and pest entry points

Brick surface condition - looking for pitting or deterioration
