Brick replacement that deals with the cause
Breaking out a damaged brick
A damaged unit comes out in pieces, not whole. Brick industry maintenance guidance describes breaking it to help removal, which puts less strain on the surrounding bricks than trying to pry it free.
We break the damaged unit carefully and lift out the pieces. The bricks above, below and beside the opening stay supported by their own mortar throughout. If a neighboring brick turns out to be loose once the damaged one is out, we stop and show you before going further.
Dampening before the new brick goes in
Dry brick pulls water out of fresh mortar too fast. Brick industry guidance asks for the surrounding brick to be dampened before a new unit is set. Surface water should soak in first, so the bond is good.
We wet the opening and the new brick as the material requires, then wait for the surface film to disappear. On a warm, dry day that step matters more. It is one of several small steps that decide whether the new unit stays tight or loosens later.
Matching the face texture of the brick
Two bricks the same color can still look different if one is smooth and the other rough, sanded or wire-cut. Texture changes how light falls on the face and how the brick weathers.
We compare textures closely when choosing replacement units. A texture match matters most on faces you see every day. Where a close texture is not available, we explain the difference before you approve, so the finished appearance is a choice made with the facts rather than a surprise.
Toothing new brick into the existing bond
When several neighboring units are replaced, the new brick has to lock into the old. Replacement units are toothed into the existing bond, following the stepped pattern of the courses rather than leaving a straight vertical seam.
A straight seam between old and new brick is a weak line that can crack. Toothing spreads the new work across the pattern of the wall. We explain how the replacement area will be shaped when more than a few units are involved, so you know what the finished repair will look like.

Brick replacement answers for Hollywood
How do you match new brick to an older chimney?
We compare size, color, texture and the range of shades in the wall, and we can set out a sample to judge the match. Finding a close brick can take some searching. New brick may look fresher at first.
Does the workmanship warranty cover replaced bricks in Hollywood?
Yes, the agreed brick replacement carries our workmanship warranty. The written record lists which units were replaced and where, so any question later can be checked against the work that was done.
How long does a chimney brick replacement job take?
It depends on how many units are involved, how easy the chimney is to reach and how long a matching brick takes to find. We give you a realistic schedule with the estimate and tell you if anything changes it.
