We now have scaffolding round half the house so the builders can start the rather tedious and dusty task of hacking out old pointing, patching and infilling where necessary with new stone pieces and cement render … before re-pointing in an ‘Antique Cream’ colour approved by the local planners.
This picture shows all three stages … top left, just visible, part of the original stone facade, across the middle of the picture newer stone deep pointed with grey cement … and then to the right, just under the new window, a small section of the new pointing as a colour trial.
The individual stones will mostly disappear and hopefully blend into a richly textured antique cream colour … that is if it does exactly what is says on the tin!
