Why They Came To Us
Reputation Built on Craftsmanship
As one of Edinburgh’s most prominent retail locations, the store front required a specialist contractor capable of delivering restoration works on a prominent building located in Scotland’s capital. The graffiti damage had not only affected the aesthetics of the building but also compromised the surface of the stone, meaning cleaning alone would not suffice. Apple sought a trusted expert in stone replacement, and Stratum Masonry was chosen for our reputation in high quality stone restoration across Scotland.
Challenges
Blending Stonework in a Busy City Setting
The primary challenge was sourcing a suitable stone replacement while ensuring that the new sandstone seamlessly blended with the existing façade. Given the location in a high-traffic area of Edinburgh, the work also required careful planning to minimise disruption to both the store’s operations and the busy pedestrian environment.
Our Process
Crafted to Blend, Built to Last
Our team began by carefully assessing the extent of the damage and identifying the stone sections that required full replacement. We then sourced the best available matching sandstone that matched the original, ensuring consistency in both texture and colour.
Our Process
Stonework Restoration with Care and Detail
The damaged stone was carefully removed, and new polished ashlar was installed with lime mortars used to ensure breathability. Our stonemasons ensured that all joints and finishes matched with the existing façade, preserving the building’s historic integrity.
Results
Stratum Masonry Delivers Once Again
The restoration successfully ensured all damaged sections of stonework were replaced, restoring the building to original condition. The newly installed stone blending well with the surrounding masonry, maintaining the clean and sophisticated appearance of this famous street. The project was completed efficiently with minimal disruption, and both the client and the public responded positively to the transformation. It was a privilege to work on such a high profile building, further solidifying Stratum Masonry’s reputation for delivering stone restoration in Scotland’s most iconic locations.
