Helston Wendron Street

We, Leslie Cornell Building Restoration Ltd, were engaged to undertake Lime Pointing in Cornwall on this Grade II listed granite-built house in Helston.

Lime Pointing Helston

Being a listed building, and before our works could begin, we were requested to provide pointing sample panels for review by Cornwall Council.

Following the receipt of Listed Building Consent, our works began by carefully removing the existing cement pointing so as not to disturb the historic fabric.  This was followed by the introduction of Natural Lime/sand pointing applications and structural repairs.
