The Importance of Bath Stone in South West Homes
Bath Stone has been used for centuries in homes across the South West of England, especially in the city of Bath itself, which is renowned for its beautiful stone architecture. However, over time, this natural limestone can weather, crack, and discolour due to environmental factors such as pollution and exposure to the elements. White Acre Stonemasonry offers expert stone repair and stone replacement services that ensure your Bath Stone remains in pristine condition, whether you’re looking to maintain its historical appearance or give it a modern refresh.

Advanced Stone Cleaning Methods
In addition to our repair and replacement services, White Acre Stonemasonry also specialises in stone cleaning. Over time, dirt, moss, and other pollutants can tarnish the appearance of Bath Stone, making it look dull and aged. To restore your stone to its original splendour, we offer two advanced cleaning techniques: ThermaTech and Nebulous Water Spray Cleaning.
ThermaTech Stone Cleaning uses superheated water to gently remove dirt, algae, and biological growth from the surface of the stone. This method is highly effective yet gentle, ensuring no damage to the stone while bringing it back to its natural, clean state.
Nebulous Water Spray Cleaning is another gentle method that uses a fine mist of water to gradually clean the stone. This technique is particularly suitable for delicate or more fragile surfaces, ensuring that even the softest Bath Stone can be restored without risk of erosion or further damage.
