Why They Came To Us
Trusted Based on Proven Local Work
Our client was concerned about the deteriorating stonework, particularly around the bay windows, where the existing stone had shown significant weathering to the point of requiring full replacement. Our client had found us online and noticed we had carried out similar projects in the area which yielded fantastic results, gave them assurances that we were the right contractor for the project ahead.
Challenges
Restoration Challenges Faced
The most complex aspect of the project was the bay window restoration. The original stone had eroded beyond repair, requiring us to source and cut new sandstone to match the existing detail. Maintaining the structural integrity of the window area while working around the delicate stained glass was also a key challenge. Additionally, given the property’s exposure to coastal weather conditions, the new stonework had to be robust enough to withstand the Scottish weather elements.
Our Process
Careful Repairs, Seamless Integration
We began by carried out a stone condition survey to assess the condition of all existing masonry fabric on the bay window areas, identifying areas that required either repair or full replacement. The most detailed work focused where the damaged stone was carefully removed and replaced with newly carved sandstone. Each section of new stone was shaped and fitted by hand to recreate the original architectural details.
Our Process
Carved by Hand, Rebuilt with Care
We also carried out gentle cleaning of the stonework along with stone repairs and repointed sections of the façade using lime mortar, ensuring the building remained breathable and structurally sound.
Results
Restoration Completed to a High Standard
The restoration works not only improved the structural integrity of the property but also brought back its original character. The newly reconstructed bay window seamlessly blended with the surrounding stonework, preserving the beauty of the stained-glass feature. With fresh lime pointing and newly replacement stonework, the home is now both visually stunning and built to withstand the elements for years to come. The homeowner was thrilled with the transformation.
