  • Granite mortar and indent repair using salvaged and new material.
  • Repointing works using both hydraulic-lime to match the original mortars and a more modern ribbon pointing on the external facade.

  • Brick replacement and consolidation of brick surfaces.
  • Installation of new dry fixed granite walls to match original walls.
