Stone Repairs in Pertshire
Lithomex Stone Repairs is applied to existing masonry units where the surface of the existing stone has deteriorated but is still structurally intact. Lithomex has high vapor permeability, low modulus of elasticity, excellent bond characteristics and achieves early freeze-thaw resistance. Stone repairs develop early strength but not such that it becomes stronger than the background.

Most of the stone buildings in Perthshire are built of relatively thick stone walls. Many of these walls are Ashlar dressed coursed sandstone pointed and built-in lime mortar. This traditional method of the building enables the structure to breathe.
A majority of the older buildings in Perthshire have been repaired over the years using modern materials such as cement, this has in some cases led to damaged stonework which has resulted in the need for extensive stone repairs.
Repairing traditional buildings with modern or non-traditional materials will accelerate stone decay, this is why you need stonemasons who are experts in using lime.
