Services
Stone Restoration
We restore deteriorated stone elements in period properties using traditional techniques combined with modern conservation methods. Our specialists replace perished Bath Stone while matching existing craftsmanship to maintain historical accuracy. This service ensures structural integrity while preserving architectural heritage for future generations.
Paint Removal
Our non-invasive paint removal process utilises advanced tools to safely strip coatings from Bath Stone surfaces. This carefully controlled technique prevents damage to original materials while revealing the stone's natural texture and character in Georgian and Victorian properties across Bristol.
Lime Repointing
We perform lime repointing on historic stone buildings using traditional hydraulic lime mixes that match original construction materials. This essential maintenance prevents water ingress and structural decay in listed buildings, ensuring compliance with conservation area requirements and heritage guidelines.
Stone Carving
Our skilled masons create bespoke stone carvings for period properties, including architectural features like cornicing and gate pillars. We can replicate historic designs or craft new elements that harmonise with existing structures, maintaining the aesthetic integrity of listed buildings.
Conservation Work
We specialise in conservation projects for listed properties and Scheduled Monuments, employing methods that respect original construction techniques. Our approach balances preservation with necessary repairs, ensuring Bath Stone buildings maintain their historical value while remaining structurally sound.
