We work on stone-built homes, period properties, listed buildings and traditional masonry, carrying out repairs with care and attention to the character of the original building.

Traditional Lime Mortar & Stone Repointing

For older and traditional stone properties, using the correct mortar is extremely important. We carry out traditional lime mortar repairs and stone repointing throughout Perthshire, helping to protect historic stonework while allowing the building to breathe naturally.

Cement-based mortars can often be too hard for older stone buildings and may contribute to trapped moisture and deterioration of the surrounding stone. Where appropriate, we use traditional lime-based methods that are better suited to period, heritage and traditional properties.

Stonework for Listed & Heritage Buildings

Perthshire has a wide range of historic, listed and traditional stone buildings that require careful repair using appropriate materials and methods.

We undertake stonework repairs on older properties, including cottages, farmhouses, Victorian homes, estate buildings and other traditional stone structures.

Our approach is focused on repairing and preserving the existing character of the building wherever possible, rather than unnecessarily replacing original stonework.

Stone Masonry FAQs

What type of stone masonry work do you carry out?

We carry out a wide range of stone masonry work including stone repairs, lime pointing, sandstone repairs, stone wall repairs, chimney stonework and repairs to stone window sills and mullions.

Do you use lime mortar on older stone buildings?

Yes. Lime mortar is often more suitable for older and traditional stone buildings because it allows moisture to escape naturally and is generally more compatible with traditional stonework than modern cement-based mortar.

Can you repair damaged sandstone?

Yes. We can assess damaged or weathered sandstone and recommend an appropriate repair. Depending on its condition, this may involve careful repair or replacement of badly deteriorated stone.

Do you work on listed and heritage buildings?

Yes. We undertake stonework repairs on listed, historic and traditional properties, with an emphasis on using appropriate materials and preserving the character of the building.

How do I know if my stonework needs repointing?

Common signs include loose, cracked or missing mortar, open joints between stones, damp penetration and mortar that has become soft or badly weathered. We can inspect the stonework and advise whether repointing or localised repairs are required.
