Stone Replacements & Repairs

Sometimes stone replacement is not achievable for all due to different factors including timescales, costs and accessibility etc. While we most likely prefer to replace damaged or deteriorated stone, sometimes we use other methods such as part indenting the damaged section of stone or take the decayed surface back to a “sound” surface of the stone and then apply a lime based material called lithomex. Lithomex has a wide range of colours to match most natural sandstone. This is a more cost effective option for stone repairs.

Work includes surveying, report and specification writing, consolidation, repair work and indenting. We work with lime based products all in accordance with The Scottish Lime Centre specifications for lime mortars, and are proud to work with specialist companies developing materials and techniques for the conservation of our heritage.
