Chimney Repairs
Chimney rebuilds, repointing and stone repair — keeping traditional stacks sound, safe and weather-tight, with all access equipment managed for you.
01 — Lime Pointing
Traditional Lime Pointing
Traditional stone buildings need to breathe. Hard cement pointing traps moisture and accelerates decay — we point with matched lime mortars that let walls dry naturally and protect the stone for generations. Joint profiles are matched to the original.
- Natural hydraulic & hot-lime mortars
- Removal of damaging cement pointing
- Colour and profile matched to the original
- Ideal for tenements, gable ends and garden walls
02 — Sandstone Repairs
Repairing Decayed & Damaged Stone
Where sandstone has eroded, cracked or spalled, we cut out the failed section and let in a matched natural stone "indent", or rebuild eroded detail with a breathable lime-based mortar repair. Every repair is colour- and texture-matched to blend seamlessly.
- New sandstone indents cut and fitted by hand
- Lime plastic repairs to eroded detail
- Crack stitching and structural stabilisation
- Geology-matched replacement stone sourced
03 — Stone Restoration & Replacement
Sympathetic Stone Restoration
We combine skilled craftsmanship with traditional techniques to preserve the beauty and integrity of period buildings. Where stone is beyond repair, we replace it with hand-matched sandstone — chosen and dressed to blend with the original.
- Conservation-grade, sympathetic restoration
- Hand-matched replacement sandstone
- Colour and texture matched to the original
- Cornices, lintels, cills and carved detail
04 — Stone Cleaning
Gentle, Effective Stone Cleaning
Years of soot, traffic pollution, algae and biological growth dull even the finest sandstone. We clean with methods that lift grime without abrasive blasting or harsh chemicals that damage the stone surface — leaving it sound and looking its best.
- Soot, carbon and pollution staining removed
- Algae, moss and lichen treatment
- Paint and graffiti removal
- Safe for soft Scottish sandstone
