Recreating heritage-style stonework requires specialized knowledge, precision, and respect for traditional craftsmanship. Stonemasons study the original structure to understand the stone type, bonding pattern, mortar composition, and finishing techniques. Matching stone is sourced from quarries or reclaimed materials to replicate color, texture, and weathering. Traditional hand-cutting and carving methods are often used to maintain authenticity. Mortar is carefully selected to match historical mixes, ensuring compatibility and longevity. Stonemasons also follow conservation guidelines and collaborate with heritage consultants when required. The goal is to seamlessly blend new work with existing stone so repairs or additions are visually indistinguishable. This careful approach preserves the character, integrity, and historical value of heritage buildings while ensuring structural stability.
