Stonework & Masonry Restoration

At Calvey Restoration Ltd, we specialise in restoring stone and brick facades using a combination of traditional craftsmanship and conversation-led techniques, our work aims to protect the integrity and character of historic buildings.

Pre-Construction Expertise

Our strength lies not just in execution, but in preparation. We offer a full suite of pre-construction services to architects, surveyors, project managers and engineers. This includes technical surveys, material assessments, failure analysis, and costed repair strategies.

Innovation through Tradition

While we honour the past, we also invest in the future. Many of the buildings we work on present unique technical challenges, requiring bespoke, reverse-engineered solutions informed by historical research and modern conservation science.

Commitment to Quality

Everything we do is driven by a commitment to long-term value. We source only the most appropriate materials—often natural stone or traditional lime mortars—and apply them with a level of care and craftsmanship that ensures lasting performance.

Brickwork Restoration

We specialise in the careful repair and restoration of historic brick façades, walls, and structural elements. Our team works with precision to match original brick types, mortar profiles, and pointing techniques. Using traditional lime mortar, we ensure repairs are durable to prevent future damage. Every project is approached with accuracy to bring it back to life.

Lime Mortar Specialists

A cornerstone of our masonry services is the use of traditional lime mortars. Unlike modern cement, lime allows older buildings to breathe, reducing moisture build-up and long-term damage. We use carefully matched lime mortars for repointing, renders, and full façade repairs—preserving both the health and appearance of your property.

From joint repair to lime rendering, we ensure every application supports the long-term performance of your masonry.

We specialise in a wide range of restoration and construction services, including commercial and industrial sectors

At Calvey Restoration, we have built an exceptional reputation for our commitment to quality, precision and the preservation of architectural structures

Tuck Pointing Craftsmanship

For period properties that require a refined finish, we offer traditional tuck pointing—a highly skilled technique that creates the appearance of fine, uniform joints. Often used on Georgian and Victorian buildings, tuck pointing provides a sharp, decorative look while reinforcing the integrity of the wall beneath.

Our team has years of experience reproducing historical pointing styles with authentic detail and precision.
