This Grade II listed stone cottage in Cornwall required restoration works to the existing external Lime pointing.
To repair and preserve this historic building we, Leslie Cornell Building Restoration Ltd, were engaged to undertake sympathetic and breathable pointing works.
Before our works were allowed to commence, we were required to provide Lime pointing sample panels to discharge conditions set out in the Listed Building Consent Approval. We provided 3 different sample panels for consideration and Cornwall Council decided upon the most appropriate one and discharged the conditions.
The next stage of our works was to carefully remove the existing cement and Lime-based pointing applications and rake out the joints of the stonework to the required depths.
Our works were completed with the introduction of the agreed Lime mortar pointing application to the exposed stonework joints.

We, Leslie Cornell Building Restoration Ltd, were engaged to undertake internal Lime plastering works at a Grade II Mid-17th Century house in Cornwall.
Our Client decided that they would like to have the internal walls plastered with a breathable insulating Lime render application to improve the thermal performance of the solid walled masonry and maintain the breathability of the building.
We introduced a Cornerstone Insulating Lime render application at a thickness of approximately 50mm, with a Lime putty finish.

This Granite-built cottage in Cornwall was suffering from damp on the gable elevation.
We, Leslie Cornell Building Restoration Ltd, were engaged to undertake works to maintain the breathability of building. Following the removal of the existing cement pointing applications from the joints and the non-breathable paint applications to the faces of the Granite stonework, we removed the existing dropper course and reinstated a new one that matched the existing roofing Slate and introduced an appropriate breathable Lime pointing application to the exposed stonework.
