Services
Stone Cleaning
Our stone cleaning services utilise hot water steam and mild acid dilutions to remove carbon staining while preserving structural integrity. We avoid abrasive methods that cause long-term damage, ensuring surfaces are revitalised safely. This process reveals the natural colours of masonry, enhancing kerb appeal and property value for residential and commercial clients.
Mortar Matching
Using electronic spectral photometers, we precisely match mortar colours to existing structures. This technique ensures seamless repairs for heritage and modern buildings alike. Our modified mortars and stainless steel fixings provide durable, aesthetically consistent solutions for brick and stone restoration projects.
Heritage Conservation
Specialising in pre-1919 buildings, we employ traditional techniques alongside modern innovations like stone consolidators and acrylic reconstruction. Our team holds advanced NVQs in traditional building repair, ensuring sensitive restoration of listed properties and conservation areas while meeting contemporary safety standards.
