Stone Porch Restoration - Part 3.
This is a job we recently completed. All the porch stonework was carefully removed using mechanical lifting methods, with each stone numbered and recorded on elevation drawings before the old mortar was cleaned off. Repairs were completed while the stones were on the ground, and new foundations were dug and concreted in line with the structural engineer’s design. The stonework was then rebuilt in its original order onto the new foundation, fixed and pointed with lime mortar,

Attic Windows - Part 3.
We were recently instructed to carry out the restoration of these attic windows. The works involved targeted refurbishment of the window assembly and associated weathering components. Localised areas of deteriorated timber were cut out and replaced with pieced‑in sections that replicated the original profiles and grain orientation, maintaining structural integrity and continuity with the historic fabric. The existing window units underwent a full overhaul, including restorati

Roof and Gutter Repairs - Part 3.
Water ingress had caused serious damage to this historic property, including a collapsed lath‑and‑plaster ceiling and widespread decay throughout the roof timbers. Before repairs could begin, we carefully stripped back the roof to assess the full extent of the deterioration. All rotten timbers were removed and replaced or spliced with new Douglas fir, selected to match the original structure. We then installed new lead gutters and flashings before reinstating the roof, ensuri

Stone Windowsill - Part 2.
We were recently called out to restore a severely weathered stone windowsill at a church. The damage was so extensive that wind and rain were finding their way inside the building. We stepped in to hand-craft a stone replacement that matched the original masonry, fixing and pointing it using traditional lime mortar to preserve the building's historic integrity. Here’s what the windowsill looked like before and after our repairs. Learn more about this in a previous post. For m
