FAQs

What types of stone do you work with?

We work with all types of natural stone commonly found in residential properties, including sandstone, limestone, Yorkshire stone, and Pennine stone. Each stone type has different characteristics and requires specific approaches to achieve the best results. Dave's 30 years of experience includes working with various stone types and understanding how different mortars interact with each stone's natural properties.

How do you match mortar to existing stonework?

Matching mortar to existing stonework requires careful analysis of the original mortar colour, texture, and composition. We examine the existing pointing and select sand and cement mixes that complement your stone's natural characteristics. The goal is to achieve a mortar that blends seamlessly with your stonework whilst providing effective weatherproofing and structural support.

Is stone pointing different from brick pointing?

Yes, stone pointing requires different techniques and considerations compared to brick pointing. Stone is a natural material with varying textures and absorption rates, requiring careful mortar selection and application techniques. The mortar must complement the stone's natural characteristics whilst providing effective weatherproofing. Dave's experience with both brick and stone work ensures the appropriate methods are used for each material type.

How long does stone pointing last?

Well-executed stone pointing using quality sand and cement mortar can last 20-30 years or more, depending on exposure to weather and the quality of the original work. Stone properties in sheltered positions typically require less frequent maintenance than those exposed to harsh weather conditions. Dave provides honest assessments of your stonework's condition and realistic expectations for the longevity of the pointing work.
