Stonecraft Projects
As you will discover from the pictures of the projects, our main objectives are restoration and conservation of old sandstone buildings and monuments. From replacing corner stones and mouldings to carving new floral decorative works or lettering. Another big part of restoration work lies in renewing of old mortars, which have lost their adhesion, structure or have quite simply been washed out over time.
Since we are now more aware of the destructive qualities of cerment especially when combined with soft sandstone, our mortars are mixed using lime, whether Hydraulic or in putty form. So, by analysing the materials to be built or pointed we can determine the types and strength of lime mortars to be used.
