Stone Repairs
Specialist stone repair services addressing erosion, cracking, and impact damage using replacement, part indenting, or Lithomex techniques. Our Edinburgh-based team restores structural integrity while preserving historical authenticity. Traditional methods combined with modern materials ensure durable, aesthetically pleasing results for heritage and contemporary buildings.
Lime Pointing
Traditional lime pointing solutions for deteriorated mortar joints in stone and brickwork. We remove cement-based repairs and replace with breathable lime mortar to prevent structural damage. This technique maintains building integrity while enhancing visual appeal through period-appropriate finishes.
Chimney Repairs
Comprehensive chimney repair services from minor fixes to full rebuilds. Our surveyors assess structural safety and recommend appropriate interventions. Using heritage-compatible materials, we restore chimney functionality and appearance while addressing weathering and mortar erosion issues in Edinburgh's challenging climate.
Wall Repairs
Structural wall restoration using traditional stonemasonry techniques. We rebuild collapsed sections, replace damaged stones, and re-point joints with lime mortar. Our methods ensure long-term stability while maintaining original architectural character for Edinburgh's tenement and period properties.
Stone Cleaning
Professional masonry cleaning using Doff steam, wet media blasting, and chemical treatments. We remove paint, graffiti, and biological growth without damaging substrates. Our Edinburgh specialists employ appropriate techniques for different stone types, restoring original appearances while preserving material integrity.
