Bricks Tinted
As most brick restoration services are focused on reinstating the integrity of the property, brick tinting is concerned with maintaining the appearance of the property.
Regardless of the age of the property, our brick tinting service matches the natural colour of brickwork and conserves the aesthetic of a brick building, masking any signs of refurbishment work or revitalising your facade.

Combining the science of a laboratory with an eye for detail, our operatives can find a tint that precisely matches the exterior of your brick, allowing us to achieve incredible results. We always aim for a consistent overall effect where the new brickwork is indistinguishable from the original, which means that we will combine brick tinting, mortar tinting and colour correction as required.
As part of our service all colour decisions are made in consultation with the client to ensure that they are satisfied with the approach and colour before the project work begins.
Our team is highly experienced in restoring both modern and heritage brick properties. With experience on a broad range of brick structures nationwide, we work to conserve both the appearance and structure of your brick property for the long term.

Brick Tinting
Contact us and explain your building maintenance needs.
We start with a consultation to understand your needs and the specifics of the project.
Our team will visit the site to assess the condition of the building and the scope of work required - this may be done in person or remotely. Depending on the level of works required, we may work alongside an experienced surveyor to ensure an accurate scope of works.
Based on our initial findings, we’ll develop a tailored plan for your property. This includes selecting the appropriate techniques and equipment, as well as considering factors such as building height, access challenges and specific restoration needs.
With the right plan in place, our skilled technicians will carry out the work to the highest standards using the most effective combination of access solutions. We’ll ensure minimal disruption and high safety standards during execution.
Throughout the project, we will maintain continuous quality control checks. If issues are identified, adjustments are made to ensure the highest standards of workmanship.
Once the work is successfully completed to your satisfaction, we will submit a completion report with photos and videos of the stages and finished result.
Where needed, we offer ongoing support and regular maintenance services to protect and extend the lifespan of your building's exterior.
Tasked with a challenging brick tinting and repointing project at Douay Martyrs School in Uxbridge, our team, despite short notice and complex requirements, successfully executed the job within a stringent four-week deadline. The project involved converting the colour of the brickwork from dark to light and required meticulous pre-site assessments to strategise the appropriate tinting solutions and access methods. With only preliminary tinting trials and expedited approvals, we managed to initiate and conclude the work efficiently, overcoming logistical hurdles to restore and enhance the aesthetic and structural integrity of the school's facade.

There are many reasons why brick tinting may be required, older bricks can weather and stain over time, but due to their age, the newer equivalent may not be a close enough match.
The unavailability of original bricks is another reason why tinting is increasingly being used to achieve even results. In the past decade or so, smaller brickworks have gone out of business, so sources of matching bricks for local projects disappeared. With brick production currently concentrated in a few large manufacturers, it has become increasingly difficult to match older bricks.
Professional brick tinting is the ideal solution, especially as bespoke colours can be generated to achieve a match.

It is more than likely, that when brick repairs have been carried out on a building or extensions added that visible differences will be seen between the original brickwork and new brickwork. Even minor replacement work will be visible, giving the building an unsightly patchwork look. In such cases, tinting will make the new bricks or mortar replicate the original in colour and appearance. Tinting is the process of changing the colour of the bricks on a permanent basis to blend in with surrounding facing brickwork.
In certain cases, the client, to achieve a desired different aesthetic effect, requests that all the brickwork colour be completely changed. The tinting solution penetrates the brick, or mortar, creating a coating that is designed to wear at a similar rate as the original masonry. Brick tinting dyes the actual clay material of the brick which is why it is called tinting and not painting.
No, the brick tinting solution is not paint. It is a mixture of coloured dyes combined with an acrylic-based and potassium solution. A bespoke mix is created onsite for testing on brick samples to ensure the correct colour blend is achieved.
In order to match multicoloured blends, a variety of different dye solutions can be blended in combination with each other to create the optimum match. Bricks can also be multicoloured, with variations and flashes that make up the brick type. It is also possible to match these variations in addition to single colours.
For tinting to be successful, a degree of porosity is necessary, usually no less than 10%. Most bricks can be tinted, however, there can be issues with very smooth or very hard bricks with low porosity and therefore low absorption characteristics. In these cases, a different binding constituent is employed, and this can give the bricks a slight sheen.
With modern techniques and products, brick tinting can last up to 30 years. The bricks will continue to perform the same as the original bricks in terms of breathability and weathering.
