Stone and brickwork inevitably weather with time, but with skilled, sensitive repair, they can endure for centuries more. Weldon Stone provides expert masonry repair and conservation services, combining traditional materials and techniques with modern precision to stabilise, protect, and preserve historic fabric.
Our approach to masonry repair is rooted in conservation principles - repair rather than replace, and protect wherever possible.
We assess each building individually, identifying the causes of deterioration before selecting the most suitable materials and methods. From stabilising fractured stone to repointing brickwork and reinstating decayed features, every repair is designed to blend seamlessly while maintaining the structure’s integrity.
We work across both stone and brick façades, carefully matching colour, texture, and finish. All raking out and repointing is carried out by hand using lime mortars or roman/natural cement made specifically for each project, ensuring breathability, compatibility, and long-term durability.
Each repair is crafted with the same respect and precision as the original work, extending the life and beauty of the building without compromise.
Lime sits at the heart of traditional masonry repair - flexible, breathable, and proven over centuries.
At Weldon Stone, every lime mix is formulated individually to suit the project’s stone type, exposure, and finish. Our masons rake out old or failed mortar by hand, preparing clean joints before repointing with fresh lime mortar that allows the masonry to expand and breathe naturally.
We also apply lime washes and shelter coats where appropriate - vapour-permeable finishes that help stabilise soft or weathered stone surfaces and protect the fabric of your building. These treatments reduce water absorption, slow decay, and provide a sympathetic patina that harmonises new repairs with historic façades.
Our lime work restores both strength and character, protecting the building’s fabric while letting it breathe.
Our repair work is guided by the same care and precision demanded by the conservation sector. Whether we’re repairing a listed building, a heritage façade, or a traditional home, we adhere to best practice principles that respect the original materials and workmanship.

We handle everything from repointing and individual stone replacement to structural crack stitching and full façade repairs.
We review the existing masonry and source stone that matches in colour, texture, and mineral composition, then replicate original tooling by hand or with CNC technology.
Smaller or lower-level repairs can often be completed with access equipment, but larger or higher work typically requires scaffold for safety and accuracy.
Yes - where appropriate, we use lime mortars to allow stonework to breathe and move naturally, protecting against future damage.
