Stone and Brick Re-pointing.
Our stonemasons can quote to re-point your salt damp affected areas or to fully repoint your wall. They are experts in lime mortar and colour matching to ensure that your home maintains the same look overall.
Brick and Stone Undersetting.
Sometimes a wall has decayed too badly for us to drill into and therefore a chemical treatment cannot be used. However, we are still able to repair these by undersetting them. Undersetting involves the removal of all salt affected stones and/or bricks. A plastic damp proof course is then placed at the base of the wall and the wall is then rebuilt with new or reclaimed materials. This process is considerably more involved and needs to be done in stages to protect the structural integrity of your wall.
Stone and Brick Replacement.
Often stones or bricks have begun to disintegrate or erode over time due to the effect of salt. Once a new damp proof course has been injected our masons are able to remove and replace these damaged areas which not only removes excessive salts but also restores your walls to their former glory.
