Revitalise Your Camden Stonework with Expert Care
Our stone restoration process begins with a thorough assessment of your stonework to determine the extent of any damage and identify the most effective restoration approach.
We carefully remove any damaged or deteriorated stone, using specialist tools to prevent further harm to the surrounding materials. Once the stonework is properly prepared, we either repair or replace damaged sections with high-quality materials that closely match the original stone, ensuring a seamless blend with the existing structure.
Finally, we meticulously finish the restoration, ensuring the stone is properly aligned, cleaned, and protected, leaving a refined, durable result that enhances both the structural integrity and appearance of your property.

Can repointing be done in any weather conditions?Repointing should be carried out in mild, dry weather to ensure the new mortar sets correctly. Harsh temperatures, whether hot or cold, along with wet conditions, can interfere with the curing process. We plan repointing work during favorable weather to achieve the best possible outcome.

How do I know if my brickwork needs repointing?Indicators that your brickwork might need repointing include noticeable cracks in the mortar joints, loose or crumbling mortar, damp or damaged interior walls, and gaps between bricks. If you observe any of these signs, it's advisable to have a professional assess your brickwork to decide if repointing is required.

How often should brick repointing be done?The need for repointing varies based on factors such as the type of mortar, the building's age, and its exposure to weather.
