Historic buildings naturally require repairs over time, often due to age and weather exposure. Choosing the right materials for refurbishment or repair is crucial and demands a high level of skill and expertise.
We specialise in using traditional materials and natural lime-based mortars that are tailored to the needs of your property. All our products are approved for conservation and heritage projects, ensuring the preservation of your building’s fabric for years to come.
Our stone masonry service specialises in a wide range of heritage stone restoration and masonry work, including stone-facing and construction using both lime mortar and traditional cement-based mortars.
If your building was constructed before the 1930s, lime mortar was the primary material used for pointing and construction. Nowadays, more heritage property owners are recognising the value of using lime mortar to preserve their buildings.
Unlike Portland cement, which is often too rigid for the softer sandstones found in Northumberland and can cause stone surfaces to deteriorate, lime mortar enables the structure to breathe naturally, helping to extend its lifespan.
