repairs

Arts and Crafts house, c.1925 - displaced and failing panels of patterned brick and lime render rebuilt  

Former Victorian Chapel - repairs, repointing and toning-in works 

Georgian house - repointing and brick repair, refurbishment of sash windows, new basement windows and the installation of two period fireplaces

These heavily painted and delapidated balusters on a Victorian building were beyond repair and the cost of replacement in stone considered prohibitive on an unlisted (and painted) building

A baluster mould and then casts were made in 'artificial stone'; elsewhere mouldings were remodelled with lime mortar and repainted with a micro-porous silicate paint  

Failing and unsightly cement repairs  were carefully removed from these upper storey schoolhouse windows before lime mortars were built up over stainless steel armature 

The finished windows were protected with casein limewash, colour-matched by the suppliers from samples of the bathstone

The limestone mouldings and window mullions on this commercial building were pinned and repaired with lime mortar over stainless steel armatures

The same section of finished cornice moulding with restored strength and decorative profiles - and the leaking leadwork of the roof above made good

A build-up of many layers of render (both cement and lime) was failing on this medieval townhouse; stainless steel fixings were inserted into the brick joints to help bond the new render 

Several coats of lime render (with goat hair) were added before a fine finish coat, incised to mimic ashlar joints 

Failing layers of cement render repairs were removed from this Tudor cottage and replaced with new lime render and oak lath

Damp mitigation and re-plastering works in this medieval house 

Re-plastering the stairwell and dormer of this tiny 1590's cottage

Repair to a Victorian 'Roman cement' architrave and other features using natural cement

This old and failing garden wall was rebuilt to the original bonding pattern using lime mortar

The finished wall with 'flush' pointing

Garden soil and planting has long been banked up against the other side of this old wall causing an impressive bulge - repairs in progress 

The wall after strengthening with stainless steel bands, extensive areas of repointing, and some brick replacement  - and the reattachment of oyster shells (for years used to cover brick loss)

The brick facades of a former Victorian school were peppered with unsightly repairs

The same finished section after repointing in lime and toning-in works
