01

Respecting original building fabric

Heritage masonry and sandstone require a considered approach. Incompatible coatings or repeated cosmetic repairs can trap moisture and accelerate salt-related deterioration.

Specialist damp systems

Diagnosis establishes the moisture path and the condition of the masonry before treatment is selected.

Practical remedial expertise

The goal is to manage the cause of damp while retaining as much sound original material as possible and preparing surfaces for appropriate reinstatement.

Common questions

Useful answers before an inspection.

Why does heritage masonry need specialist treatment?

Older walls and finishes behave differently from modern construction. Moisture, salts and incompatible coatings must be considered together.

Can rising damp be treated in sandstone?

Yes. Subject to diagnosis, Westox dampcourse and Cocoon systems can be used to control moisture and remove associated salts.

Do you have heritage-project experience?

Yes. BRW Remedial has worked on significant heritage projects throughout Sydney for more than 20 years.
