Specialist stone & brickwork restoration and lime pointing across Greater Manchester, Cheshire & the North West

Preserving period and heritage masonry with traditional methods and modern expertise

Restoration, cleaning and repointing of stone and brick on a period or heritage building demands specialist knowledge, materials and techniques. We have over 20 years’ experience working on masonry restoration and pointing projects across the North West, working on everything from 2-bed Victorian terraces to Grade II listed English Heritage properties.

Our work is always of the highest professional standard. Our team provides authentic, historically accurate stone and brick restoration using traditional lime mortar pointing for period Victorian, Edwardian, and listed properties. We understand that buildings constructed before 1930 need to breathe, which is why we don’t use harsh, impermeable sand-and-cement mixes, working instead with premium Natural Hydraulic Lime (NHL 3.5) and English Heritage-approved DOFF steam cleaning.

Whether we are restoring a delicate residential gable in Trafford or undertaking a large-scale 500-square-meter commercial stonework restoration in a conservation area, we apply the same uncompromising standard of care to every project.
