Heritage Masonry Restoration

Restoration Planning
Establish a clear, prioritized scope of work based on observed deterioration, aligned with your budget and project timeline. Formal Masonry Condition Assessment Reports provide the technical documentation required to guide decision-making, phasing, and coordination with consultants and approvals.

Material Sourcing

Ensure your project uses materials that match the original in performance and appearance, protecting both the integrity and value of your home.

Repointing

Renew deteriorated joints using compatible lime-based mortars that support proper moisture movement within multi-wythe masonry assemblies. This approach helps prevent trapped moisture and long-term deterioration while maintaining the continuity and appearance of the façade.

Chimneys/Fireplaces

Address deterioration and performance issues with repairs informed by WETT inspection standards, ensuring your chimney or fireplace is safe, compliant, and functioning as intended while preserving its architectural character.

Structural Rebuilds/Stabilization

Resolve structural failures through an integrative approach that considers load paths, material behaviour, and existing conditions, ensuring interventions are both effective and compatible with the original construction. This allows stability to be restored without compromising the building’s character or long-term performance.

Masonry Cleaning

Remove efflorescence, carbon staining, and biological growth using heritage-appropriate methods such as low-pressure steam cleaning and targeted poultice treatments, ensuring contaminants are eliminated without damaging the masonry or altering its natural patina.

Stone Repair/Consolidation

Address deterioration through industry-standard plastic repairs and mechanical pinning methods, restoring surface integrity and structural continuity while maximizing retention of original material.
