Blockwork

Blockwork is a construction technique using concrete blocks or similar materials to create structural walls and partitions. Valued for its durability, fire resistance, and thermal insulation, blockwork is commonly used in residential and commercial projects. Its modular design allows for efficient assembly and flexibility, making it suitable for diverse architectural styles. Overall, blockwork is essential in modern construction, merging functionality with aesthetic appeal.

Stonework

Stonework is the art of shaping and assembling stone into structures like walls, pathways, and decorative elements. Valued for its durability and aesthetic appeal, it blends seamlessly with nature and is widely used in architecture and landscaping.

Cladding

Stone cladding is a lightweight exterior finish that attaches thin slices of natural stone to walls, enhancing aesthetics while providing durability and weather protection. It offers the appearance of solid stone walls at a lower cost, making it ideal for residential and commercial properties. Available in various styles and textures, stone cladding allows for a sophisticated look while leveraging the natural benefits of stone, like insulation and longevity.

Lime Pointing

Lime pointing is the process of removing old or damaged mortar and replacing it with a traditional lime-based mix. Unlike modern cement-based mortars, lime mortar allows brickwork to breathe, reducing trapped moisture and preventing structural damage.
