Support & Response
Our conservation team provides guidance on lime mortar analysis, micro-abrasive cleaning parameters, and structural assessments for heritage masonry. Reach us through the channels below, and we will respond within the stated timeframes.
For questions about facade assessment, mortar matching, or cleaning method selection. Include site photos and a brief description of the stone or plaster condition.

We acknowledge all inquiries within one business day. Detailed technical responses are sent within three business days, depending on the complexity of the question.
Straight answers about plasterwork, stone cleaning, and conservation methods — without the legal jargon.
Yes. We use low-pressure micro-abrasive methods with fine media that remove soot and grime while leaving the ancient limestone and lime-mortar layers intact. The process is gentle enough for ornamental details, but we always test on a small area first.
We start with a mortar analysis of your existing facade — looking at binder ratios and aggregate grading. Then we blend a compatible mix that matches the original in strength, color, and breathability. This prevents future cracking and moisture issues.
We assess the cracks and the overall stability of the masonry first. Depending on the issue, we might use stainless steel ties, epoxy injections, or partial rebuilding with matching stone. The goal is always to reinforce while keeping the original architectural character.
Absolutely. We focus strictly on the structural and ornamental restoration of heritage buildings — stone facades, vaulted ceilings, and plaster moldings. We don't provide any religious services or content; our work is purely architectural conservation.
It depends on the size and condition of the plasterwork. A single ornamental molding might take a few days, while a full ceiling could take several weeks. We always provide a detailed timeline after the initial assessment.
Yes, we regularly work on listed buildings and monuments. We're familiar with the necessary permissions and can coordinate with conservation officers. Our methods are designed to meet heritage standards and minimize intervention.
Restoration service tiers
Three defined scopes of work, each tailored to a specific phase of structural plaster and stone care. No hidden fees — the exact composition is agreed before any intervention begins.
A non-invasive documentation of existing cracks, soiling patterns, and plaster detachment. Suitable for annual checks or pre-purchase due diligence.
Low-pressure removal of atmospheric soot and biological staining from limestone, lime plaster, and ornamental moldings. Media selected per substrate hardness.
Targeted repair of structural cracks in vaulted ceilings and load-bearing stone walls. Lime-based grouts and discreet pinning to retain original fabric.
Every engagement begins with a site visit to confirm the substrate condition and agree on the intervention scope. The final program is documented in a written specification before any work starts.
