What Causes Spalling (Fretting) Bricks?
Water or salt are the most common causes leading to face of brick erosion . Water becomes trapped inside of masonry the damage can be catastrophic to the brick face as shown in the picture above. When temperatures change expansion and contraction happens to the brick causing excessive forces on the masonry, this in turn causes fretting or spalling which basically means the front (face) falls from the brick.
Water and problems it can cause with your bricks..
Constant water from leaking rain water goods, pipes, will erode your bricks as well as the mortar. Checking your gutters and keeping them free of debris is a must
Absorption known as rising damp, always keep plant etc. away from your wall, never allow reticulation to constantly spray water up against your bricks.
Excessively Hard Mortar. If the mortar (sand and cement between bricks is excessively hard and harder than the bricks, this is another cause of spalling and fretting.
Damp Course bridging. This is caused by on obstacles or materials stacked against your brick work allowing soakage to bridge your damp course, Always try to make sure you don’t have anything up against you walls, ideally slabs ,paths etc should be a minimum of two standard course below the internal finished floor. Another cause of bridging is debris in the cavity, whenever working on brickwork(making holes etc.) always try to prevent material falling into the cavity
Fretting Brick Repair
The good news is, fretting bricks and mortar can be replaced. We use specialist tools to cut out the bricks, making sure that the structure is safe as we do so. Once the brick has carefully been removed as a whole, a new brick that has been selected to match the original is mortared in and mortar pointed to match the original colour.

“I recently had Marcus inspect my rental property in Parmelia for some repair work that someone had just quoted me $9000 to repair. Marcus spent a good hour or more going through what was required with each part of the repair. He is incredibly honest and very helpful, showing me how I could do parts of the work myself if I chose. His quote was $2500 I cannot thank Marcus enough for his time, honestly and sharing his knowledge and for saving me $5500. Much appreciated.”
