Structural Stone Repairs in New Town & West End
Sympathetic Heritage Masonry Repairs for UNESCO Georgian Townhouses
Expert Stonework Repair Tailored for New Town & West End
Edinburgh's New Town and West End are globally recognized for their immaculate Georgian architecture, constructed using premium Craigleith and Hailes grey ashlar sandstone. The structural integrity of these classic townhouses is strictly protected by conservation regulations, demanding highly sympathetic repair methodologies.
When cracking or structural movement occurs in these historic facades—frequently around high-level lintels, canted bays, or decorative stone balconies—traditional methods require extensive scaffolding and stone replacement. Stone-Stitch offers a revolutionary alternative. Our Helibar crack stitching system is completely concealed within the lime mortar beds, restoring full structural strength without altering the historic facade. Our IRATA abseil technicians complete repairs rapidly, bypassing the need for intrusive scaffold frames that disrupt traffic and detract from historic streetscapes.
Our Transparent Guarantee:
We believe in honest, direct communication. We will never recommend unnecessary stone replacement when a permanent, engineered Helibar stitching repair is safer, faster, and more affordable. All our structural repairs include a full 10-year guarantee.
