Common Stonework Issues We Repair

Many traditional stone buildings across the Scottish Borders develop problems over time due to weather exposure, movement and inappropriate cement repairs. Douglas Masonry specialises in diagnosing and repairing these issues.

Cracked Stone Walls

Structural cracks in masonry can weaken the wall and require specialist repair.

Failing Mortar Joints

Deteriorating mortar allows water into the wall and can loosen surrounding stone.

Loose or Displaced Stonework

Loose, shifting or missing stones can weaken the structure of the wall and often require careful rebuilding or repair.

Cement Pointing Damaging Stone

Hard cement mortar can trap moisture in traditional stone walls, causing the surrounding stone to deteriorate over time.
