restoring eroded sandstone features using modern methods

The remit of the work encompassed dressed stone repair to both decorative features and general joints, re-pointing the entire house, overhauling window openings and restoring the cast iron guttering.  

The most significant erosion was to the Timpanum over the entrance door and its scrolls (above), along with the reconstructed results below (below).

The eroded stone decorative features around the windows, were carefully cleaned and restored with extensive use of a proprietary natural hydraulic lime mortar.  This is mixed off site to control quality and matched to the building's stone colour.  Highly skilled masons applied and sculpted the newly repaired features back to their original appearance.
