Flint work and masonry from a trusted local building team.
Flintwork is a specialist trade where material selection, bedding and joint finish all matter. LJB undertakes new flint walls, repairs, rebuilding and facade restoration for period homes, estates, churches, schools and commercial property owners across East Sussex.
The team works with knapped and field flint, traditional brick details and appropriate mortar specifications. Loose or damaged flints, cracked sections, failing joints and altered areas can be repaired with the aim of matching the existing coursing, colour and character.
Work can include boundary and retaining walls, brick-and-flint entrances, facade repairs, structural stabilisation and replacement of unsuitable previous repairs. Where lime mortar or another breathable traditional material is appropriate, the specification is agreed around the existing construction.
On listed buildings and conservation-area properties, permissions or specialist input may be needed before work starts. LJB can work from an architect's or surveyor's specification and coordinate with the wider project team where required.

Questions about flint work and masonry in Eastbourne.
Can LJB repair an old flint wall?
Yes. LJB can assess loose flints, failing mortar, cracked areas and previous repairs before proposing a suitable repair or rebuilding scope.
Do you use lime mortar for flintwork?
Lime mortar can be appropriate for many older flint and masonry walls because it supports breathability and movement. The correct specification depends on the existing materials and exposure.
Can new flintwork be matched to an existing wall?
The team considers flint type, colour, size, coursing, brick details and joint finish when matching an existing wall, although natural material variation should be expected.
Do listed flint walls need permission?
Some work to listed buildings or protected structures may require listed-building consent or other approval. Check with the local authority or appointed conservation professional before work starts.
