Masonry in Bagdad
What masonry work looks like in Bagdad.
Bagdad is where our masonry work is most careful. Soft historic brick has to be repointed with a mortar softer than the brick, matched for colour and joint profile, or the repair destroys the wall over a few seasons.
We salvage and reuse original brick wherever there is enough of it, because on an older wall the original material is usually the only thing that will genuinely match.
about five minutes south of our Milton base. ZIPs we cover here: 32530.
Local conditions
Why this matters in Bagdad.
Bagdad sits low and close to water on several sides, so drainage and grade matter here and moisture is a constant factor in how buildings age. Damp ground against old masonry is a slow, expensive problem.
Older foundations were not built to modern standards, so when we do repair work we are usually stabilising and matching rather than rebuilding to a current spec.
Genuinely historic: soft-fired and reclaimed brick, lime-rich mortar, and buildings that have already been repaired several times by several different hands, not always sympathetically.
Work here needs mortar matched for strength as well as colour, because mortar is meant to be the sacrificial part of a wall. Get that backwards and the brick faces spall instead.
