Services
Chimney Repairs
Our chimney restoration services address minor repairs to complete reconstructions using traditional lime mortars. We replace defective stones with matched natural stone, ensuring structural integrity and aesthetic continuity. Each project begins with a comprehensive assessment to recommend cost-effective solutions.
Masonry Restoration
We specialise in restoring historic stonework, including balusters, sills, and cornices. Our process involves repointing with lime mortar, vegetation removal, and rebuilding with existing or new stone to preserve architectural integrity while ensuring durability.
Lime Pointing
Traditional lime pointing services maintain the breathability of stone buildings. We match mortar colour and texture to existing stonework, preventing moisture damage and frost action while preserving the building's original character.
Stone Supply
We supply and dress natural stone for new builds or restoration projects. Our selection includes materials that complement existing structures, ensuring visual and structural harmony for both modern and historic properties.
New Build Stonework
Our new build services incorporate traditional stonemasonry techniques for extensions and standalone structures. We work closely with architects and contractors to deliver bespoke designs that meet modern standards while respecting historical aesthetics.
