Fine stonemasonry is the corner stone of the K&S Restorations business model.

Stonemasonry is one of the oldest trades in human history consisting of a wide variety of skills all using natural stone. The most highly skilled type of masonry is architectural which is the complex and geometric stonemasonry that is seen on many older building.

A great example of this is the beautiful churches and cathedrals of Europe, where complex hand carved stones fit together to create huge ornate buildings.

The skill of banker masonry (making templates and drawings then carving stone from blocks) and fixing (the laying and installation of stone using traditional lime mortars and grouts ) is something we have an extensive background in.

With that in mind stonemasonry doesn’t need to be on the scale of the large cathedrals, it can incorporate something as simple as a small limestone rubble wall, which if completed with the right materials and knowledge can add a beautiful historic element to any building.

Many of the heritage buildings in Perth, especially residential have been affected by improper workmanship from a lack of knowledge of heritage stonework.

This is often seen with the use of cement mortar/ render and the use of non-breathable paint onto stonework. Such practices can leave the stonework unable to let moisture escape which will eventually lead to deterioration and failure of stone work. Luckily, most of these mistakes can be rectified and K&S Restorations have the skills and knowledge to bring any building back to its original state.
