Restoration and Rejuvenation of Original Stone Facades
Supporting building custodians and construction professionals to restore historic stonework, protect our built heritage, and enhance a building’s aesthetic and performance.
We work to identify the causes of deterioration or damage. Where the use of new natural stone is cost prohibitive, we will recommend technical solutions that offer optimal value and capital and life-cycle cost efficiency.
Our use of lime mortars and ‘stone friendly’ epoxy materials allows us to provide seamless and inconspicuous repairs which to the naked eye have the look and performance characteristics of natural stone.
