Pointing/Repointing.
Pointing is the process of filling the gaps between individual bricks, stones, or other masonry units in a structure. The goal of pointing masonry joints is to seal the gaps to prevent moisture and other elements from penetrating the structure, which can cause damage to the mortar and masonry units over time.
Pointing masonry joints typically involves removing the damaged or deteriorating mortar and replacing it with new mortar that is matched to the original in terms of colour, texture, and composition. Improper pointing can actually cause more harm than good by trapping moisture and causing further damage to the mortar and masonry units.
Patching/Mortar repairs.
Mortar repairs or ‘patching’ stonework refers to the process of fixing or restoring damaged mortar or stone in structures. The goal of this type of repair is to preserve the integrity and appearance of the stone work while also ensuring the structure remains sound and safe.
The process of repairing mortar or damaged stone typically involves removing the damaged stone and replacing it with new mortar that is matched to the original in terms of color, texture, and composition. This is a skilled and precise task that requires experience and attention to detail, as improper mortar repair can actually cause more harm than good by trapping moisture and causing further damage to the stone and the mortar itself.
Stone Cleaning.
Stone cleaning is the process of removing dirt, grime, and other impurities from historic stone buildings and monuments. This is a crucial part of preserving and conserving our heritage, as the accumulation of dirt and pollutants can cause irreversible damage to stone over time. Stone cleaning methods vary depending on the type of stone, the type of dirt and pollutants, and the desired outcome.
It is important to choose the right method of cleaning for each specific situation, as some methods can cause damage to the stone if not used correctly.
Cladding/Walls.
Cladding in stonemasonry refers to the process of covering a building structure with stones to enhance its appearance, improve insulation, and provide protection against the elements. The process typically involves fixing stones, either natural or man-made, to the exterior surface of a building using mortar or other adhesives.
Stone cladding can be achieved through various techniques, including dry stone cladding, ashlar cladding, and random rubble cladding. Each technique has its own unique features and is used for specific purposes.
Paving.
Paving is creating a flat and durable surface by laying down and arranging blocks or stones in a specific pattern. This process is commonly used to create walkways, driveways, patios, and other outdoor surfaces. It is important to highlight the unique benefits of stone paving over other materials such as concrete or asphalt. Stone paving is known for its natural beauty, durability, and versatility, and is available in a variety of styles, colours, and textures to suit any design aesthetic. Additionally, stone paving can last for many years without requiring frequent maintenance or replacement, making it a cost-effective option in the long run.
Landscaping.
Stonemasons are often used in landscaping for the design and construction of outdoor spaces using natural stone elements. This type of landscaping is characterized by its unique and timeless aesthetic, and involves the use of stones such as granite, marble, sandstone, and limestone to create features such as patios, retaining walls, water features, fireplaces, and garden paths. Stonemasonry landscaping not only adds beauty to a property but also increases its value and functionality.

Stone Profiling
Stone profiling can be used to create a wide range of decorative elements in masonry structures, including arches, columns, cornices, and other architectural features. The technique requires a high level of skill and precision, as the stonemason must work carefully to achieve the desired shape and texture without damaging the stone. It is often used in the construction and restoration of historic buildings, monuments, and other masonry structures, as well as in modern architecture where a decorative or ornamental element is desired. It is a time-honoured technique that requires patience, skill, and artistry to achieve beautiful and lasting results.
