Most of the stone buildings in 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 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.
