This wall was in serious need of TLC. Cement patched, pointed, with de-laminating stones everywhere. Originally we were booked for a rake out and repoint - which quickly turned into a minor collapse… with only the cement patch repointing holding it together! Cementitious mortars ontop of original joints erodes the bond - turning everything behind the non porous cement into dust, and losing structural integrity.
Alex, Adam, Chris and young Josh have had fun rebuilding, replacing and repointing this traditional stone wall. Roughly 3 tonnes of material removed, 2 tonnes of new stone in - and approximately 22 tonnes of effort!!
A tidy up on Monday and onto the next project! Let us know if your property needs some tender loving care… before it’s too late!
Have a good weekend from the team… and ABC’ya later!
