Granite house: stone preparation and pointing

A granite house under scaffold with the stone cleaned back and prepared for new pointing, plus the granite fireplace opening inside.

These photographs show a granite house with the scaffold up and the stonework cleaned back to the bare stone. Hessian sheets are laid along the roof edge to catch debris.

Close-ups of the granite beside a white window show the joints raked out and ready for new mortar. Inside the same stone property, a granite fireplace opening has been cleaned back to the stone.

SR advertises needle gunning and surface scaling for stone and heritage property, which is the kind of preparation this scaffold stage points to. The post does not describe the method used on this house, so we do not claim it.

Photos of the wall, the room or the site, and your town, are all SR needs to start a conversation.
