On the removal of the cement pointing a Lime putty pointing mortar in Cornwall was used.
Our client had strict specifications for the colour of the mortar which were successfully achieved to compliment the Granite stonework.

French Drain Cornwall

The installation of a French Drain to this old building in Cornwall which suffered internal damp problems has now limited water ingression.
Our client made us aware of internal damp problems and it was clear this was caused by ineffective water run-off and drainage at the base of the wall. Having removed cement, granite and earth we dug down and introduced a new land drainage system to connect with the existing drainage surrounding the property.

Lime Pointing Chimney Repair Truro

As one of the best examples of terraced housing in Historic Truro this Grade II listed project saw the team remove the cement pointing and re-point using a Lime mortar in Truro. On the front elevation a subtle coloured sand was chosen to promote the stonework prominent in the area.
The Brick arches and headers saw a paint removal system introduced which successfully removed the white, green and blue layers painted over the years to allow the bricks to breathe again as well as aesthetically taking this project back to its former glory.
To the rear of the property lead flashings were introduced to the chimney as well as a breathable Lime pointing application to the stack.
