Concord is Federation and Interwar territory. Large blocks, big homes, lots of brick and sandstone detailing. Our work here is similar to Burwood and Strathfield — heritage repointing, chimney repair, retaining walls on sloped streets, and structural crack stitching where foundations have moved over the decades.
Concord has good quality original brickwork on most homes, which means proper lime mortar repointing keeps them in shape for another 50+ years. Cement repointing done in past decades is a common problem we reverse — removing the hard cement and repointing with lime that lets the bricks breathe.
We are 15 minutes from our Strathfield base to most parts of Concord, so response is quick and we know the area well.
What Concord homes and buildings need
Concord has Federation homes from 1900s, Interwar houses from 1920s–40s, Victorian properties, and newer builds. Reactive clay in some pockets causes foundation movement. Sandstone detailing common on period homes. Canada Bay Council covers the area with its own heritage policies.

Common Questions — Concord
Does Canada Bay Council have strict heritage rules?
For listed heritage items and Conservation Areas, yes. Much of Concord falls under these protections. We prepare documentation and work to approved materials when heritage consent is needed.
How do I know if my Concord home has reactive clay?
Signs include doors and windows sticking after rain, stair-step cracks in brickwork, or cracks that open and close with seasons. A geotechnical test confirms soil type; crack monitors over 3–6 months confirm whether movement is ongoing.
Can you work with my architect or heritage consultant?
Yes — regularly. Many of our larger jobs are run through architects or heritage consultants who prepare the scope and documentation. We deliver the work to spec.
