Specialist Heritage Masonry for Traditional Stone Buildings

JG Stonecraft undertakes assessment-led heritage masonry works to traditional stone buildings, farmhouses, and rural properties. Our work focuses on full elevation repointing, masonry repair, and chimney works using appropriate lime mortars and traditional methods. Projects are typically planned over several weeks, and we do not undertake small isolated repointing jobs, general brickwork, or cosmetic patch repairs.

How we work:

  • Assessment-led decisions before intervention

  • Mortars matched for compatibility, permeability, and exposure

  • Traditional methods and finishes appropriate to the building

  • Work programmed properly for durable, breathable repairs

  2. Assessment-led decision making rather than standardised repair methods

  3. Work focused on long-term performance, breathability, and durability
