New hand-cut window jamb stones installed on a property in Coldstream.

Old cement repairs had failed and caused serious deterioration around the window, so the entire opening had to be carefully taken down and rebuilt with new hand-cut sandstone jambs.

The rest of the building is pointed in cement, so we colour-matched our lime mortar as closely as possible to blend in with the existing work, as repointing the whole house wasn’t an option for the client at this stage.

A solid repair. Built to last many years.

Did you know lime mortar lets stonework breathe and move naturally while cement can crack and trap moisture in the wall. ⚒️

Close to finishing the first section of this historic sandstone wall. Each stone was carefully taken down, numbered, and rebuilt in its original place - preserving history while giving the structure new strength #stonemason #stone #stonework #restoration #heritage
