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.
↗A second opinion on old fabric — before the work begins.
