We provide external stone carving for period properties, including gate pillars and cornicing. Our team can create new carvings or replicate existing workmanship to maintain architectural consistency. This service is particularly popular for Georgian and Victorian buildings requiring detailed restoration.
Paint Removal
Our paint removal service restores Bath Stone to its original condition using non-damaging techniques. We employ modern tools to strip paint layers while preserving the stone's integrity, commonly requested for historic properties in Clifton and Redland.

Specialising in conservation of listed properties, we address weathering and structural issues in Bath Stone buildings. Our methods include lime repointing and targeted repairs to maintain historical accuracy for properties in Bristol's heritage districts.

We perform repointing on stone buildings, focusing on chimney stacks, walls, and period property facades. Using lime mortar, we address damp penetration in Georgian and Victorian houses, ensuring structural longevity while maintaining aesthetic authenticity.
