Traditional Lime Mortar Repointing
Restore Your Stonework To Its Original Appearance
In recent decades incompetent building practices of “smearing” cement over joints has become all too common resulting in water being trapped causing damaged stonework and degrading the aesthetic appearance of the structure.
Our specialist craftsmen have a real passion, understanding and dedication to the history, technology and practice of traditional stone construction. Our aim is to restore masonry back to its original standard using traditional and modern materials and craftsmanship.
Stone constructed properties were built so that the wall could breathe, moisture would be absorbed into its fabric and that moisture would naturally dry out again. Our experts use only lime based mortars for repointing allowing the wall to breath naturally.
