 HOW TO UNDERSTAND YOUR TRADITIONAL STONE BUILDING IN EDINBURGH

Most of the stone buildings throughout Edinburgh are built of relatively thick
stone walls. Many of these walls are Ashlar dressed, coursed sandstone which are
pointed and built with lime mortar.  

This traditional building method enables is great because it enables the
building to breathe.

A lot of the older buildings in Edinburgh have been repaired over the years
using modern materials such as cement, gypsum plaster and, modern paints.

This has in some cases led to some damage to the stonework, and has resulted in
the need for extensive stone repairs.

By repairing traditional buildings with modern or non-traditional materials this
will accelerate stone decay.

Similarly, the materials used in the construction of stonemasonry buildings in
Edinburgh were sourced from local quarries such as Craigleith or Hailes to name
a couple.  

A lot of these materials fell out of use after the 1920s so were replaced with
modern substitutes.

HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR HISTORIC LISTED BUILDING

 LOOKING AFTER YOUR STONE BUILDING AND CHECKING FOR DEFECTS GUIDE

For instance, by using traditional materials and having a building maintenance
program will help to preserve, enhance, and prolong the life of your stone
building.

Chimneys – This is the most vulnerable part of the building for weathering. Most
are built with Ashlar stone or rubble masonry. However, over the years we have
seen many chimneys that have been coated in cement where the stone has decayed.

Read our chimney inspection guide for further information.

Masonry Stone Repairs –  Natural stone deteriorates very slowly and may require
repair or replacement over time. We carry out stone repairs and ensure that the
repair is in keeping with the current stone and materials.

Read our stone repair guide for further information.

Lime Pointing – Many buildings in Edinburgh have been pointed in a very hard
cement over years which can accelerate the decay of the masonry units.  

Our team are fully qualified stonemasons in Edinburgh and because of our
extensive knowledge we understand the best materials to use. We ensure that we
match the original material and style of pointing.

Read our lime pointing guide for more information.

Boundary Walls – Stone boundary walls often require more frequent maintenance
and repair.  Therefore, please read more information about boundary walls here.

Loose or Unsafe Stone Masonry – You should carry out a building inspection to
your building every 3 – 5  years to ensure that it’s safe.

Most importantly remove any unsafe masonry and replace where applicable. You can
watch our videos on inspections here or you can read more about unsafe masonry.

In conclusion, if you are looking for professional stonemasons who understand
your traditional building and are experts in lime mortar we at Edinburgh
Stonemasons Ltd are here to help.

WHAT IS A STONEMASON?

Of the 20% traditional housing stock buildings in Scotland, 75% of them that
need repairs. Yet Scotland has only around 500 stonemasons for the multitude of
projects available. 

That’s because stonemasonry has a specialized and certified training that’s not
easy to complete.

An Edinburgh stonemason takes rough pieces of rock or stone and shapes it into
geometric shapes that help create a building, structure, or even a piece of art.

Stonemasons work on monuments, castles, cathedrals, tombstones, houses,
parameter walls, and more.

In Edinburgh a stonemason knows that much of their work represents the history
of a building as well as Scotland over hundreds of years.

In Edinburgh, you see stonemasonry on structures that comes in a multitude of
shapes and designs.

reasons for you to consider when you hire a stonemason for your Edinburgh home
