Restoration and Refacing

Stone refacing has become a popular way to enhance the exterior beauty of your home using stone products. The existing brick veneer is dismantled and the building envelope sealed. The new stone is expertly installed with quality control.

There are a number of reasons for refacing the stonework of a historic building. The most commonly cited are:

Improve the appearance of stonework
  • To improve the appearance of the stonework.
  • To remove impervious paintwork.
  • To blend original stonework with new work, such as an extension or repairs.
Slow down damage or decay
  • To slow down damage or decay which is due to deposits on the masonry.
  • To reveal the condition of the building where the deposits may be concealing cracks, failed pointing, damaged stonework or structural faults.
  • To allow other actions such as repair, pointing and protection.

Cleaning a listed building usually requires listed building consent from the Council. We are approved contractors for and work closely with Bath & North East Somerset Council & many local architects.

Repairs

It is imperative that any repairs are fully in keeping with the existing structure. We will use mortar to compliment the type of stonework you have in your building especially when the mortar is required to allow movement and evaporation to take place. Using the wrong mortar in these circumstances will only result in further damage to the stonework and building.

There are no standard solutions to repair problems – each project must be individually assessed. Our craftsmen are qualified to repair bath and traditional stonework, in accordance with the highest quality and standards.

Testimonials

I have recently engaged Tradstone, a family company, for maintenance and building work on my cottage. Michael and David Pollinger have replaced an inadequate and broken concrete driveway, enlarged it and built a surrounding stone wall all sympathetic to my house and the surrounding area.

The groundwork was thoroughly excavated first then built up to provide a levelled area on a sloped site which has much improved the overall look to the front garden and house.

There is an opportunity here to comment on workmanship: - Very reliable. Ensuring I was informed on dates and timings.

Attention to detail. At the end of each day the site was left tidy. Worked at a steady pace throughout the day (whatever the weather). Consideration to me and awareness of neighbours in order not to cause little disruption.

In conclusion I am pleased and proud of their finished work and would not hesitate to recommend Tradstone to others.

We just want to say what a brilliant job you did on our garden, we are delighted with the end result. You all went the extra mile for us, especially when we added on the block paved drive.

Everything was left tidy and clean and we will strongly recommend Tradstone Builders to our family and friends. Very friendly, and hardworking chaps, thank you so much.
