The Beauty and Challenges of Bath Stone
Bath Stone is renowned for its warm, honey-coloured tones and versatility in architecture. However, over time, exposure to the elements can cause wear and damage. Common issues include:
Weathering and Erosion: Rain and frost can erode the surface, leading to cracks and weakening.
Staining and Discolouration: Pollution and biological growth can mar the stone’s appearance.
Structural Damage: Prolonged neglect can compromise the integrity of features like bay windows and chimneys.
Our expertise in Bath stone repair ensures these issues are addressed professionally. Learn more about our stone repair services here.
