Case Study

Listed garage, Hemswell

What was the job?

Extending an historic, listed garage

What did the customer want?

Here, our customer wanted to extend a garage built of rough stone and lime mortar.

extending an historic listed garage

The highlights: A tough finish achieved with classic materials

Rough stone and lime mortar are tough old artisan materials to build with.

The stone requires skill to fit together, while the mortar can be weaker than modern mortar. Get it right and you have a tough modern wall with natural stones and a rich, creamy texture between them; it looks as unique and attractive as the old building.

Get it wrong and you could have a collapse on your hands!

What was the outcome?

Fortunately, we at S2 have the skill and experience to use classic building methods in modern ways to achieve tough and attractive, original-looking finishes. We have a lot of experience with lime mortar and many various types of stone.
