Our client has engaged our services in this project for Lime patch pointing repairs, bath stone cleaning, and brick face repairs in Cornwall and leadwork to this school in Falmouth.
A Lime putty mortar was used to patch point the existing brickwork. The bricks in disrepair were removed and replaced with matching bricks and the bricks that could be repaired in situ were re-faced.
Bath stone repairs and bath stone cleaning were successfully achieved with a perfect colour match. In addition our roofing contractors were able to provide the dressed lead for the roof and bath stone.
Working to current CDM regulations and Site Safety this project was completed within the deadline.

The front elevations of this Old Chapel and Schoolhouse were Lime re-pointed in Cornwall.
We established from the outset that all stonework was to be professionally cleaned and then an introduction of a specific blend of sand and Lime mortar was to be used to re-point these wonderful buildings.
The stain glass windows and ornate stonework were also cleaned and some repairs were made. Lime pointing in Cornwall provides a heritage building with many of the benefits it originally had.
Low-level damp was a problem in this property as it had thick cement pointing. Once raked out, and test panels for the final colour were agreed upon, we set about re-pointing the stonework in Lime. As you can see there was quite a transformation.
In addition we have numerous examples of our Lime pointing in Cornwall throughout this website.

This Grade II Listed Historic Cornish Farmhouse previously had a cement pointing application introduced over 40 years ago. The extension to the earlier main building had a Lime pointing application.
With this being a Grade II listed property we were engaged to act as agents on behalf of the client. Architectural Drawings were submitted to Cornwall Council along with pictures and a Heritage Assessment to gain Listed Building Consent.
This application from date of submission to Grant of Listed Building Consent by Cornwall Council was 7 weeks. Our commitment to building conservation in Cornwall and our knowledge of historic buildings in Cornwall and the correct techniques of restoration are not going unnoticed.
