Another project completed in Banknock.

A great transformation and another quality conservation project completed.

New sandstone window sill installed . The old sill was broken due to iron bars and was carefully removed. A new sandstone sill was then traditionally dressed, shaped, and installed to match the character of the property.

Emergency chimney repair was urgently required after we were called out by our colleagues at . While they were carrying out work on an adjacent property, they identified that the neighbouring chimney stack was in a dangerously unstable condition and at immediate risk of collapse.

Upon inspection, it was clear that prompt action was necessary to ensure the safety of the property and surrounding area. We proceeded with urgent stabilisation and repair works to secure the structure and prevent further deterioration.

The chimney was carefully rebuilt where necessary and finished using traditional lime mortar, with all pointing carried out to match original methods and ensure breathability and long-term durability.
