From the iconic timber-framed Tudor houses that line the historic streets to the Georgian and Victorian properties that add to the town's rich architectural tapestry, Stratford-upon-Avon presents a unique set of challenges for property maintenance.

Why repoint your brickwork?
Brick Repointing in the Stratford-upon-Avon Area
Stratford-upon-Avon's architectural character is dominated by its collection of timber-framed buildings, many of which date back to the 16th and 17th centuries. While some of these historic properties have been refaced with brick or plaster over the years, many have been restored to reveal their original timber studding. The town also features notable brick chimney-stacks from the same period, often with decorative features like V-shaped pilasters.
