Discuss your masonry projectTRADITIONAL MATERIALS & CRAFT
Stone and brickwork are part of the character of many properties across Cornwall and Devon. Whether building something new or repairing what is already there, careful preparation, sound workmanship and suitable materials make all the difference.
Enriched Building Services undertakes a range of masonry and stonework projects, from wall repairs and repointing to steps, boundary walls and general building work. We also carry out traditional lime pointing where appropriate to the building.
MASONRY SERVICES
Repair and improvement work to existing stone features and masonry, with attention to the character of the original construction.
Pointing work selected to suit the type and condition of the masonry, including traditional lime mortar for appropriate older buildings.
New and repaired walls that define outdoor spaces, provide practical boundaries and complement their surroundings.
Hard-wearing external masonry work designed around the levels, access and character of your property.
TRADITIONAL LIME POINTING
Many traditional stone and solid-wall buildings were constructed using lime-based mortars. Where appropriate, a compatible lime mortar can help retain the character of the masonry and allow moisture vapour to move through the joints.
We take care to consider the existing stone or brick, the original mortar, exposure and condition before undertaking repointing. The aim is a finish that sits comfortably with the building rather than fighting against it.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Neither is universally better. Traditional lime mortar is often more compatible with older solid-wall masonry, while cement-based mortars may be appropriate in some modern construction. The existing materials and condition should guide the choice.
Yes, subject to inspecting its condition and understanding the existing mortar and masonry. The preparation method, mortar specification and finish need to be appropriate for the wall.
We undertake a range of wall repairs and masonry improvements. The extent of the work will depend on the wall's condition, stability, access and any underlying issues.
