Heritage-led. Method-led. Done properly.
Every service Phoenix Stone offers is grounded in one principle: understand the building before you intervene, and choose materials the wall can live with.
Breathable, sympathetic finishes for old walls.
Traditional lime rendering restores the ability of old walls to breathe, releasing moisture rather than trapping it behind modern cement.
The joint carries the wall. Get it right.
Careful removal of failed pointing and re-pointing with the correct lime mortar restores both the appearance and the breathability of stonework. Our pointing makes us stand out.
Rebuilding, repair and restoration of historic stone.
From loose rubble walls to carved detail, our stonework restores structural integrity while respecting the character of the original build.
Insulated lime render, correctly specified.
A specialist thermal lime render system suitable for internal and external use on traditional buildings where heritage-led specification is essential.
Practical moisture management around old buildings.
Perimeter drainage designed to move ground water away from traditional walls — supporting the long-term health of solid masonry.
Remove the cement and unveil a gem.
Careful removal of inappropriate cement renders to allow the original stone to breathe again — often revealing beautiful, hidden fabric beneath.
Diagnose before you intervene.
Technical assessment of how moisture is moving through your old building — and what an appropriate response looks like.
Traditional brick and stone repair, done properly.
Sensitive repair of historic brick and stone fabric — matching materials, method and character to the original build.
Fireplaces designed to your detail, cast in traditional lime materials.
Specialist bespoke fireplace work — designed to your detail and hand-modelled in traditional lime-based materials, in keeping with the heritage principle that governs everything we do.
Care the fabric. Don't cover the problem.
Preservation is a mindset before it is a method: understand what the building is doing, why it is doing it, and intervene as little and as well as possible.
