Stone Cottage Full Restoration

In restoring this listed historic structure, our Edinburgh stonemasons confronted badly deteriorated masonry after removing the old render.

Despite initial doubts about salvaging the underlying stone from the client and Local Authority we assured them it was do-able. The pictures show we were correct.

Decayed stone pieces were replaced with high-quality natural stone, meticulously matched in colour, size, and shape. A rusty steel lintel was swapped for a new sandstone one, and reclaimed stone formed a jamb detail and window, all set with lime mortars.

Extensive repointing followed, using a durable NHL5 lime mortar due to the building’s proximity to the sea.

The restoration concluded with skilled Lithomex stonemasonry repairs to the skew coping stones, showcasing our expertise in preserving historic structures.

Lithomex Stone Repair

These pictures show the lithomex stone repairs carried out by our company to a private home in Leith, Edinburgh. Note the near perfect match in colour, shape and texture, A very tidy job.

Wall Restoration

Here we see the before and after photos of a very old wall we recently restored. As you can see from the before pics, the wall was in a very sorry state. The client was sure it needed to be taken down and replaced, but we had other ideas. The wall was treated to extensive stone replacements and a full durable lime repoint. It will now look fantastic (and original) for many years to come.

Vehicle Collision

These photos show the before and after photos of repaired collision damage to a wall belonging to Aldi Supermarkets in West Lothian. We were able to clean off and re-use all the existing stone. Looks great!
