Specialist Heritage Masonry Services Across

Lancashire & Yorkshire

Heritage Lime Repointing

Lime mortar allows traditional buildings to breathe and move naturally. I assess existing mortar, exposure and masonry condition, then specify an appropriate lime mix and finish to protect the structure and preserve the character.
Common signs you may need repointing: open joints, crumbling mortar, damp patches, loose masonry, vegetation in joints.
Outcome: improved weathering, better breathability, a finish that suits the building.

Stone Masonry & Restoration

Stone masonry and restoration carried out with an emphasis on compatibility, longevity, and respect for historic fabric. Services include masonry repair and replacement, dry stone walling, bespoke stone lettering, and sculptural commissions, all undertaken using traditional methods and appropriate materials so new work integrates naturally with existing stone.
Common signs you may need stone masonry work include: fractured or delaminating stone, surface erosion, unstable masonry, failed previous repairs, collapsed dry stone walls, or loss of architectural detail.
Outcome: sound, durable stonework that stabilises the structure, preserves character, and weathers naturally over time.

Heritage Property Maintenance

Heritage property maintenance focused on regular, preventative care to protect the long-term integrity of traditional buildings. This includes ongoing lime repointing, verges, chimney restoration, localised masonry repairs, and preservation techniques designed to address issues early and reduce the need for major intervention, while respecting historic materials and construction methods.
Common signs your property may benefit from regular maintenance include: recurring minor cracks, early mortar loss, weathering to exposed stone, moisture ingress, vegetation growth in joints, or previous repairs beginning to fail.
Outcome: a well-maintained historic property that remains structurally sound, breathable, and resilient, with issues addressed before they become costly or disruptive
