Lime Pointing
Lime pointing restores aged brickwork and stone structures using traditional lime mortar. This breathable technique prevents water damage while maintaining historical accuracy. Ideal for listed buildings and heritage sites requiring authentic restoration methods.
Lime Harling
Lime harling applies textured lime plaster to building exteriors for weather protection and aesthetic appeal. We replicate historic finishes like the pigmented mussel shell harling at Glasgow School of Art, preserving architectural integrity.
Stone Cleaning
Specialist stone cleaning removes pollutants and biological growth from historic structures. Our methods protect delicate sandstone surfaces, as demonstrated in The Muckle Cross restoration project in Elgin, Moray.
Solid Wall Insulation
Breathable insulation systems using hemp-crete and wood fibre boards improve thermal performance in traditional buildings. These lightweight solutions reduce heating costs while maintaining wall breathability and structural health.
