Worried a repair will stick out a mile?
Having work done on a period or listed building can be stressful. Most of our clients' worry is the same: that fresh stone or new pointing will spoil the weathered character of an old building. Our job is to leave the smallest footprint possible.
II
Match the mortar.
Traditional hydraulic and non-hydraulic lime mixes, matched for colour and texture, that let old walls breathe.
III
Match the finish.
Hand-tooled and hand-carved to sit with the original masonry, so the repair reads as part of the building rather than a patch.

Featured story
From failing wall to finished
A failed section of a historic curtain wall, rebuilt from its own stone.
Step 1
Assess
The failed section is recorded before anything is touched.
Step 2
Salvage
Original stone is taken down and set aside for reuse.
Step 3
Tooth in
New work is toothed into the sound wall on either side.
Step 4
Rebuild
The wall goes back up course by course in lime mortar.
Step 5
Lower courses
Lower courses are completed beneath the old work.
Step 6
Finished
The repair sits within the wall rather than on it.
