Why Bath Stone Requires Specialist Repair
Bath Stone is a beautiful, honey-coloured limestone that’s been used in buildings across the South West for centuries. As stunning as it is, it’s also relatively soft and porous, making it vulnerable to weathering, pollution, and general ageing. Over time, this can lead to cracking, surface erosion, and discolouration—especially if the stone has not been regularly maintained.
Unlike other materials, Bath Stone requires highly skilled stonemasonry to ensure that repairs are sympathetic to the original structure. Poor workmanship or the use of inappropriate materials can cause more damage in the long run, affecting both the value and appearance of your home.
Our Bath Stone Repair and Replacement Services
At White Acre Stonemasonry, we provide comprehensive stone repair and stone replacement services tailored specifically for Bath Stone properties. We carefully assess the condition of your building, identifying any damaged, flaking, or structurally compromised areas.
Our team of skilled stonemasons can carry out precise Bath stone repair, using traditional techniques combined with modern conservation methods to maintain the historic character of your home. Where necessary, we source matching Bath Stone for stone replacement, ensuring seamless integration with the existing structure.
Specialist Cleaning: ThermaTech and Nebulous Water Spray
In addition to repair and replacement, we also offer two specialist cleaning services designed to safely restore the natural colour and finish of your Bath Stone:
ThermaTech Cleaning uses superheated water to remove paint, dirt, algae and pollutants without damaging the stone’s surface. This method is highly effective for listed buildings where abrasive techniques are not appropriate.
Nebulous Water Spray Cleaning is a gentle, low-pressure system that slowly softens and lifts surface dirt over time. It is particularly suitable for delicate or weathered Bath Stone and is often used prior to Bath stone repair work to fully reveal the extent of the damage.
Both techniques are environmentally friendly and approved for use on heritage buildings.
Bay Windows, Chimneys and Other Architectural Features
We understand that many Bath Stone properties in the South West have ornate and intricate features like bay windows, cornices, arches, and chimneys. These elements not only add charm to your home but also present unique challenges when it comes to restoration.
Our team is experienced in the careful repair and reconstruction of these features, including chimney repair. Whether it’s restoring a crumbling window surround or replacing an entire chimney stack, we have the knowledge and tools to complete the job to the highest standard.
