Why Bath Stone Requires Specialised Care
Bath Stone is renowned for its warm, golden hue and its use in some of England's most beautiful architecture. However, its soft and porous nature makes it susceptible to weathering, staining, and structural wear over time. Without regular maintenance, issues such as crumbling mortar, discolouration, and water ingress can compromise its aesthetic and strength.
Our Bath stone repair services ensure your property is restored with care and precision, using techniques that respect the stone's heritage and structure. Learn more about our stone repair services.

Specialist Stone Cleaning Services
Bath Stone can accumulate dirt, algae, and pollution over the years, dulling its natural beauty. Cleaning requires a delicate touch to avoid further damage to the stone’s surface.
At White Acre Stonemasonry, we use advanced techniques such as ThermaTech and Nebulous Water Spray Cleaning:
ThermaTech Cleaning: This innovative system uses superheated water to remove dirt, moss, and algae. It’s gentle yet effective, preserving the stone’s surface while restoring its original appearance.
Nebulous Water Spray Cleaning: Ideal for fragile or historic stonework, this method uses a controlled, fine water mist to soften and lift stubborn stains without causing abrasion.
Both techniques are eco-friendly and suitable for listed buildings, ensuring compliance with conservation requirements.
