Abstract

After centuries of weathering, clay brickwork still has an attractive appearance. This can only be achieved if emphasis is placed on good detailing at the design stage followed by good workmanship. Failure to recognise these two items will lead to unsightly brickwork which will not be improved by age and is only partially rectified by the cleaning of the building.
